Evaluation study of the Agency for International Development participant training program in Ecuador

The major purpose of this global effort was to obtain an overview of how the participant training program was progressing to ascertain ways in which future training might be more effective at the country, AID/W, and training institution levels. The findings for the Ecuador study are based on structured oral interviews with 391 returned participants, 149 supervisors, and 31 U.S. technicians concerning the training program. No recommendations are made per se, but several are suggested or implied in the areas of training design and support services. (Author abstract)
