Technical assistance and evaluation

The area of technical assistance and evaluation is based on the different vectors of peacebuilding, disaster risk reduction, and humanitarian action, geared to both public and private entities, and its work is categorized in the following way: projects and programs final, intermediate, ex-ante, and real-time evaluations; technical assistance in the design, implementation, and evaluation of public policies, programs, projects and targeted actions; processes of systematization of experiences; and diagnostic and participatory identifications processes.
