MTE-February, Kundapur
“Our way of dealing with unexpected situation has improved. I won’t be stressed out by small things”.
Mid-term evaluation was held between 18th and 20th February for NH14 BMZ/ IJFD volunteers who arrived in the month of August. Aim of the MTE is to evaluate the volunteer’s Learnings & contributions in order to develop appropriate strategies to attain quality results. Sessions were planned in a way to create platform for volunteers to evaluate the progress made in the project, based on the expected outcome and also to make space for volunteers to identify and express the new learning / knowledge/ skills gained during the program and to reflect on how it can be helpful in the future.
