Best Center Awards
Periodic observation visits were conducted throughout the duration of the project, in addition to the regular staff visits. These periodic
observations were done to check on the performance of facilitators, of project infrastructure, and to get feedback from students, facilitators,
and community leaders alike on the impact of the course. These visits have been an invaluable source of information both in impact
assessment and project management, and have led to several best practices that were immediately implemented in the WE centers.
Three months post-training, the WE team conducted Followup
events with the graduates of each center. During this
event, surveys and interviews are collected, LEE in Community
events are held and certificates of course completion
distributed. Local dignitaries and community leaders are
invited where possible to participate. This is an opportunity
to witness more long-term changes the course has brought
about in the graduates, and is a valuable research event.
Every 3 months, a center is recognized for its’ performance as
a WE training center in adhering to the goals and objectives of
the project: economic and social democratic empowerment.
Centers that have won this award have often gone above
and beyond the requirements, demonstrating successful
post training results such as taking initiative to engender
continued economic empowerment and increased community
participation.
