As a result, during the three year period (1999-2002) 650 participants were trained within the framework of 28 PEPA courses, the press service of CER said.
Another Initiative on “Health and Education Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity Building” under the WB funding was implemented during May 2009 - January 2010.
The project is aimed at rendering assistance to the Government of Uzbekistan in developing and implementing outcomes-orientated monitoring and evaluation approaches in the health and education sectors; and to improve access of user groups to primary data, ensuring a sufficient dissemination of the results.
