CMTCC

The participatory appraisal process used to gather information about the women of Lizhi Township allowed the project team to conduct a gender relations analysis. The team also used it to develop a set of results-based, gender-sensitive indicators that can be used to assess the impact of the training program both during and beyond its operation. This results-based approach is consistent with the framework used by the Association of Canadian Community Colleges to guide the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation phases of the projects they manage for the Canadian International Development Agency. Figure 2, ACCC's Results-Based Framework illustrates the components of this approach.
