During Nov/Dec. 2011, a team of experienced consultants from Cardno Agrisystems Consortium descended on SPGS for three weeks to carry out a Mid-Term Review (MTR) of Phase II of the project. The team comprised a broad range of expertise: Ian Powell (the Team Leader, with many years experience in commercial forestry), Ms Alida Bakema-Boom (organisational development and community expert) and Peter Wathum (monitoring and evaluation specialist).
Their brief was to critically review the progress against set targets of SPGS to date and also to look ahead - to give direction to the project not just to the end of the current funding phase (mid-2013), but beyond that too. The MTR team travelled widely, met many stakeholders and did a very thorough job. Whilst the project’s management team and Steering Committee digest their final report, a summary will appear in the forthcoming SPGS News No. 34/35, which will be posted on this web site very soon.
