Here the cost sharing was t
monitoreo y evaluación	auto-movilización	Mainly: measurements/observations; partly: reporting; As and when needed evaluation and status of the structures were taken care by both members and also individually.

Especifique quién decidió la selección de las Tecnología/ Tecnologías a implementarse:

• principalmente usuarios de tierras con el apoyo de especialistas MST

Explique:

the land users want ot implement the activity in consultation with SWC specialists

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists

4.1 Construcción de capacidades / capacitación

¿Se proporcionó la capacitación a usuarios de tierras/ otras partes interesadas?

Sí

Especifique quién fue capacitado:

• usuarios de tierras

• planners

Forma de capacitación:

• de agricultor a agricultor
• áreas de demostración
• reuniones públicas

Forma de capacitación:

• exposure visits, subject matter trainings

Temas avanzados:

Regular training were conducted on the subject matter and other technical aspects of various SWC to be implemented in the upper reach, middle reach and in the lower reach etc, for the farmers and other members of VLI, along with the regular other trainings on accounting & book keeping, capacity building etc.

4.2 Servicio de asesoría

¿Los usuarios de tierras tienen acceso a un servicio de asesoría?

Sí

Especifique si servicio proporcionado se realizó:

• en centros permanentes

Describa/ comentarios:

Name of method used for advisory service: group discussion, interaction, exposure visits; Key elements: group discussion, interaction, exposure visits; 1) Advisory service was carried out through: projects own extension structure and agents; Extension staff: mainly government employees 3) Target groups for extension: land users; Activities: subject matter trainings, orientation trainings etc

Advisory service is quite adequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; Since the project staff has complete responsibility of the watershed and since all the staff is government staff, it is adequate for one watershed area.

4.3 Fortalecimiento institucional (desarrollo institucional)

¿Se establecieron o fortalecieron instituciones mediante el Enfoque?

Sí

Comentarios:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored through observations

technical aspects were regular monitored through measurements

socio-cultural aspects were regular monitored through observations

economic / production aspects were regular monitored through measurements

area treated aspects were regular monitored through observations

no. of land users involved aspects were regular monitored through measurements

management of Approach aspects were regular monitored through observations

There were few changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: Like involving the people since day one of the project. First capacity development of the stakeholders and then implementing the activities etc. This would increase the sustainability of the project interventions.

it has helped them to learn new technology by involving themselves (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: other project/ programs should involve these)
they have developed feeling of ownership (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: other projects/ programs should allow them to make decisions)
learnt te importance of living in harmony and resolving the conflicts (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: conflict resolution should be top most priority while implementing other projects/ programs)

6.5 Debilidades/ desventajas del Enfoque y formas de sobreponerse a ellos

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
treatment of land with one of the forest activities and then SWC measures	more focus on the SWC approach
ridge line approach	taking up acivities in the lands which have been leftover during previous years
language problem when interacting with the people from the hamlets	better facilitating and involving the educated people of the hamlets while interacting
formation of the users group focusig activities after the planting work is over	organising the stakeholders in to UG before undertaking the activities.
not much imortance is given to the land users demands during the initial period especially regardnign field bunds	before planting and implementing the activities, landusers demands should be taken into consideration

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
Low level of literacy	Regular training and capacity building trainings
shortage of women staff in the project restricting the interaction with the women land owners	Regular gender sensitization training to the project staff.
