EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Agriculture is the mainstay of the economies of all the countries in West Africa,
accounting for a large proportion of the GDP, and providing employment both skilled and
unskilled for about 70 percent of the labour force, mainly rural based. In these West
African countries comprising English speaking Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia,
and Gambia, and French speaking Benin, Togo, Chad, Niger, Mali, Cote D’voire, Guinea
Conakry, Guinea Bissau, Senegal, in spite of its importance, agriculture suffers numerous
set backs. Most of the food are produced by low income, resource-poor, small holders,
whose main preoccupation is subsistence to maintain the family and sell only excess
produce. They lack resources to procure adequate farm inputs, machinery, and
equipments, but most importantly they lack up-to-date information on modern methods.
The Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) is one organisation whose
efforts are geared towards filling this information gaps by giving opportunities to ACP
nationals to acquire knowledge and information through interactions, and facilitate the
improvement of their information management capabilities.
Rationale and scope of this evaluation
CTA offers ACP nationals the opportunity of participating in location-based seminars as
part of the organisation’s efforts to promote and maintain two way communication,
information flow, dialogue and exchange of ideas. Participants are also to discuss
orientation of future research, identify research needs, and transfer promising and
adaptable technologies. The seminars are of four types namely CTA Annual Seminars,
Co-Seminars, Seminar Support Programme and Study visits.
The CTA annual seminars serve to increase, the uptake of new ideas and the growth of
knowledge.
The co-seminars often held in collaboration with other development
agencies with the aim of promoting networking and greater collaboration, reviewing
obstacles, and identifying common interests, strengths and weaknesses of development
initiatives. The seminar support programme provides an avenue for CTA to sponsor
participants from ACP countries to seminars in order to obtain updated knowledge on
issues such as production intensification, and optimisation, strengthening national
agricultural systems, and environmental protection and national resource management.
The study visits involves practical exercises, cognitive learning, hands-on experience in
farming activities and techniques.
7
Performance evaluation of these location-based seminars are carried out periodically by
CTA so as to obtain valuable and reliable information on the extent to which they are
achieving the desired goal.
Objective and Outputs
This present evaluation involves the examination of regionally organised seminar, and
study visit activities in West Africa. It is specifically to consider geographical trends,
with respect to participants and institutions, and also to consider seminar topics, duration,
speakers and the extent of participatory approach. The indicators are the efficiency,
effectiveness, relevance and contribution to sustainability of the Seminars.
The overall aim of the evaluation for CTA as an organisation is to improve the
performance and impact of CTA’s location based Seminars within the framework of the
Strategic Plan and Framework for Action (2001-2005), by using the findings to enhance
decision-making, programme component implementation, organisational learning and
accountability.
The following outputs were to be obtained:
(i)
To gather and analysed data obtained with respect to efficiency, effectiveness,
relevance and sustainability
(ii)
To make inferences and recommendations that would enable CTA improve
the operation of the location-based seminars.
Methodology
The study was conducted from April to August 2004. Data for the study were
collected through a combination of structured questionnaire, and structured interview
guides. The questionnaires were administered on individuals and organizations
through e-mail using the master list of participants in 50 seminars either conducted by
CTA or to which CTA sponsored participants between 2001-2003. Two separate
questionnaires were prepared one for seminars the other for study visits, they were
sent to randomly selected participants from the master list. A desk study was also
conducted to review relevant information and to jointly write report in English and
French.
The statistical analysis of data involved relevant descriptive and multivariate statistics
using statistical package for social science (SPSS version. 10.0).
8
Analysis of findings
CTA Annual Seminar
Results of evaluation analysis indicated that in the West African sub-region, 56% of
respondent considered the objective of CTA annual seminars very clear, and 74%
indicated that the seminars were satisfactorily organised.
Close to 52% found the seminar objectives were consistent with their expectations and
therefore relevant to their work, while 83 percent of respondents considered the CTA
seminars effective. In terms of contribution to sustainability, 83% of respondent indicated
the seminars had positive effect.
Co-Seminar
The mean values for Co-seminars showed that almost half of the respondents 49% said
the objective of the Co-seminar were very clear and 65% were satisfied that the seminars
were efficiently conducted. Although only 39 % of respondents considered Co-seminars
relevant, 58% benefited from the experience of others at the Co-seminars. Over half of
the respondents 57% thought that the Co-seminars were effective, and 48% indicated that
they made significant contribution to sustainability.
Seminar Support programme (SSP)
A very high 88% of the respondents thought that the objective of SSP was very clear, and
63% were highly satisfied with the way they were organised. For this seminar type, 58%
found that the objectives of the seminar were consistent with their own expectation, and
therefore relevant. All the respondents 100% found SSP effective, while 43% indicated
that it positively contributed to sustainability.
Study Visits
Responses have been enregistred only in the francophone area. The survey shows a
hight degree of satisfaction .
Responses showed that CTA seminar had more gender balance than the other two
seminar types. This may be because CTA plays a major role in the selection of
participants for this annual seminar type. There is need to ensure that more women have
the opportunity to participate in both the co-seminar and seminar support programmes
particularly with respect to CTA sponsorship
Those who attended CTA seminar tend to be older, above 36 years of age, whereas
younger participant between ages 26 to 35 were included in co-seminar and seminar
9
support programme. Participants in the CTA seminars had better spread of qualification
from undergraduate to postgraduate; on the other hand the co-seminar and the seminar
support programme.
All the organisations surveyed in both French and English-speaking countries gave
positive response when asked whether they would allow their staff to attend CTA
seminars in future.
Funding is a major limitation to consistent seminar attendance by the staff of almost all
the organisation surveyed; this is why CTA support and sponsorship was often
appreciated and credited with the ability of staff to attend all seminar types.
Back-to-office reports and face-to-face informal discussions appear to be the major
means by which information obtained at seminars are disseminated and shared with other
staff members.
In conclusion, majority of respondents in this evaluation agreed that CTA as an
organisation occupies a foremost position in information dissemination through the
seminars. It is equally important that the sponsorship of CTA is by various means, either
in cooperation with other development agencies or through individual sponsorship.
Whatever be the case CTA seem to be able to attract a cross section of participants
irrespective of gender, age, and academic qualifications. Considering all the indicators
examined in all the location based seminars it can be concluded that respondents were
unanimous that they were all efficient, relevant, effective, and sustainable although to
various degrees. Seminar support programme occupies the foremost position. Seminar
benefits that were universally mentioned by all respondents were exposure to new
contacts, acquisition of new techniques, interaction with experts and exchange of ideas.
It is recommended that CTA may want to consider allocating more money to this subprogramme, especially the number of sponsorship in the seminar support programme. It
would be money well spent. It is important for CTA to conduct evaluations for seminars
at a time not too long after the seminars are held, to ensure that those who participated are
still available to respond to enquiries and that vivid experiences can be fresh and easily
recalled. CTA must improve dialogue and partnership with large organizations; it seems
that use of activities results are not adequately incorporated inside as small ones (Project,
NGO, Farmer’s organizations. It is also recommended that participants sponsored by
CTA should give correct working e-mails and have a system of obtaining updated
versions in case of changes, to facilitate easier follow-up actions. More women should be
10
sponsored to attend both the co-seminar and seminar support programme, and deliberate
attempts should be made to attract younger participants who are active practically on the
field to all the seminar series.
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
11
1.0 BACKGROUND
The task is to conduct performance evaluation of the Seminars sub-programme of CTA,
in the West African sub-region, so as to obtain valuable and reliable information on the
efficiency, effectiveness, relevance and sustainability of the seminars offered and or
supported by CTA. Such information obtained would assist management in determining
the future direction of the seminars, and provide better understanding of their problems
and prospects. This would facilitate better knowledge with respect to improved
implementation strategies and cost-effectiveness.
1.1 CTA Seminars. Topics are chosen in consultation with CTA 's Advisory Committee.
CTA used to hold three seminars per year, but has since 2000 reduced the number to one
annual seminar. Its main aim is to serve as a source of information and communication
for the promotion of development in ACP countries, to increase the uptake of new ideas
and the growth of knowledge.
1.2 Co-Seminars
These are held in collaboration with other Development Agencies. Topic may not be
from CTA. It is open but CTA Advisory Committee must approve. Sometimes
unanticipated changes may occur; six to nine are planned per year. Its objectives are to
periodically evaluate development research, identify avenues for future activities, analyse
ways of promoting networking and greater collaboration, review obstacles and identify
common interests, strengths and weaknesses of development initiatives.
1.3 Seminar Support Programme
This is usually organised internationally by organisations and/or individuals. CTA
budgets 500,000 euros annually for this seminar type. Seminar must have clearly defined
criteria to benefit from this fund. For example in year 2000, according to CTA priority
information themes, request for financial support were mostly on seminar topics in
respect of Production Intensification, and Optimisation (37%); Strengthening National
Agricultural Systems (22%); Environmental Protection and National Resource
Management (21%).
12
1.4 Study Visits
Study visits are designed to address the problem of limited first-hand experience of
development in other countries and regions. Its aim is to promote information exchange,
acquire more information, raise awareness, put forward proposals to improve
development activities, increase participant’s knowledge, and encourage them to make
use of this knowledge and information in their own countries on issues of agricultural and
rural development.
Usually fifteen to twenty people participate. It involves practical exercises, cognitive
learning, hands-on experience in farming activities and techniques.
This evaluation involves the examination of regionally organised seminar, and study visit
activities, specifically to consider geographical trends, seminar topics, duration, speakers
and the extent of participatory approach with respect to participants and institutions.
1.5 Objective
This evaluation will serve as a follow up to the earlier reviews, and the information will
provide useful indication of future direction and an indication of the effectiveness of
CTA as a service provider.
One major objective of CTA in conducting location-based seminars is to improve the
availability of and access to relevant and timely information on priority topics for ACP
agricultural and rural development. This evaluation is aimed at determining the extent to
which the aims and objectives of location based seminars is being met. In addition, to
assess the extent to which the needs of individual beneficiaries are being satisfied, and
the effectiveness with which organisations that are also direct beneficiaries are utilising
the knowledge and lessons learnt from the seminars.
The overall aim of the evaluation for CTA as an organisation is to improve the
performance and impact of CTA’s location based seminars within the framework of the
Strategic Plan and Framework for Action (2001-2005), by using the findings to enhance
decision-making, programme component implementation, organisational learning and
accountability.
CHAPTER TWO: METHODOLOGY
13
2.1 Target population
The target population include clients (community of users/beneficiaries, experts/subject
matter specialists) and participating institutions/organisations in the West African subregion.
2.2 Key indicators
Location based seminars and study visits for individual beneficiaries focussed on
efficiency, effectiveness, and relevance to ACP priorities, including thematic coverage
(policy and cross-cutting issues), gender considerations, and outreach of services
(including geographical coverage).
From the standpoint of organisations (i.e. direct recipients/ beneficiaries or coorganisers of location based seminars focus is on relevance, effectiveness and factors
affecting sustainability with respect to improved skill-base, information/knowledge
sharing, improved connectivity with stakeholders and other organisation networks.
2.3 Data collection methods
At the beginning of the study, briefing sessions were held at CTA Headquarters, and
discussions were arranged between the consultants and the relevant heads of
department. Based on the relevant and useful information obtained from these
sessions and a review of relevant literature, a combination of structured
questionnaire and interview guides, were prepared with the help of CTA
management personnel. The questionnaires were pre-tested and finalized by CTA
before wide application.
One set of questionnaire was administered on individuals by electronic mail and the other
administered directly on organisations, followed by face-to-face interviews with
organisation heads. There were no responses to questionnaires on study visits in English
speaking countries. In French speaking countries, the interviews were more informal and
there is a report of each one.
2.4 Data analysis
Data analysis involved the use of appropriate qualitative and quantitative techniques. The
quantitative analysis provided clearer understanding and a great deal of insight, which
complimented qualitative analysis. The statistical analysis of data involved relevant
14
descriptive and multivariate statistics using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS
version. 10.0).
The qualitative data generated from interviews with organizations are reported in
annexes. They have been used to analyse effectiveness and sustainability aspects of the
activities concerned.
The quantitative data from each sub region (Francophone and Anglophone) were put in
different database and analysed separately. Key points have been combined in order to
have a synthesis about major aspects and trends.
2.5 Overview of Respondents (see annexes for details)
In the francophone area, the respondents to the seminars survey from public sector, NGO
and international organization representing the majority of respondents (almost 98 %).
Between them there is an equilibrium.
For the study visits, no response has been registered from NGO; there came from public
sector international organization and marginally from private sector.
Chapter three gives information and figures about characteristics of respondents in
Anglophone area.

CHAPTER THREE: RESULTS AND ANALYSIS OF CTA LOCATION BASED
SEMINARS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES
3.1 EFFICIENCY
An appropriate yardstick by which efficiency can be measured is to assess the extent to
which the objectives of the seminar are clearly stated prior to participation, and to
examine the level of satisfaction with the organisation of the seminar. Therefore, looking
at the efficiency factors on clarity of seminar objectives and satisfaction with seminar
organization in Figure 1, it is clearly shown that the objectives in all location-based
seminars were very clear. Similarly it is also clear that all location-based seminars were
satisfactorily organized. This fact was more vividly shown in the seminar support
programme series, where a higher proportion of respondents considered the objectives
very clear and seminar organisation highly satisfactory when compared with CTA
seminar and co-seminar. In all seminar types participants indicated that clearly stated
seminar objective had a higher rating than the extent of satisfaction with seminar
organisation.

Level of efficiency can also be indicated the assessment of strengths and weaknesses of
seminar organisation. The strong aspects of seminar organization are shown in Figure 2.
16
It is clear that two aspects stand out; these are that seminars were well coordinated, and
that seminars attracted the participation of specialists. In order to further strengthen the
seminars, aspects relating to formation of discussion groups, clear and satisfactory
presentations, relevance of seminar topics to current developments, and opportunity to
share ideas and experiences should be given better attention when planning the seminars.

Similarly, the weak aspects of seminar organization are shown in Figure 3. It is clear that
two weak aspects were emphasized; one is feeding arrangement and logistics and the
other is inadequate time, these two aspects should be ameliorated.

3.2 RELEVANCE
In order to assess the relevance of the seminars, it is pertinent to ascertain whether the
objectives of the seminar are in consonant with the expectations and aspirations of the
participants, and also to find out the extent to which the seminar provided benefits and
opportunities. In Table 1, consistency of seminar objective with participant’s expectation
is shown. Seminar objectives were considered consistent with the expectation of
participants. No respondent indicated otherwise. Respondents in all cases indicated that
seminar objectives were consistent with their expectation; 60% for CTA seminar, 46 and
33% respectively for co-seminar and seminar support program. More importantly a high
78% of seminar support programme and 66% of co-seminar respondents considered
seminar objectives to be very consistent with their expectation.

Considering the benefits acquired at the seminar, responses were varied. As indicated in
Table 2, all respondents in co-seminar said they obtained new significant information on
the topic. Virtually all respondents in seminar support programme said they made useful
new contact. Similarly all respondents in the co-seminar indicated that they obtained new
significant information on the seminar topic.
Respondents in the CTA seminar were also all in agreement that consensus was reached
on suitable strategies or policies; however, only 46% of co-seminar participants shared
this view.
Approximately 60% of respondents in all seminar types indicated that they became aware
of new concepts, methods or approaches related to their professional discipline.

On the issue of which benefit was most significant to CTA seminar respondents, two
highly significant benefits acquired were exposure to new contacts and acquisition of new
techniques. In addition to these two benefits, co-seminar participants added a third one,
which is the interaction with experts and exchange of ideas. A large proportion of
seminar support programme participants emphasised acquisition of new techniques as the
most significant benefit, followed by exposure to new contacts and over 33% stated that
their on-the-job performance was enhanced as a result of the seminar. (Annex 1)

More than half, (55%) of those who attended the seminar support programme considered
opportunity for networking as highly significant. Sixty percent of those who attended the
CTA annual seminar signified that the seminar provided significant opportunity for
networking, while only 38 and 33% attendees of co-seminar and seminar support
programme respectively felt that way. A high proportion 38 percent of those who
attended the co-seminar indicated only partial opportunity for networking. This calls for
the need to increase the opportunity for networking at all seminars.
With respect to benefit from the experience of others who attended the seminar, 60% of
attendees of the CTA annual seminar and the co-seminar indicated significant
interactions that culminated in sharing of experiences. Close to 45% of respondents in
the seminar support programme indicated that learning from the experiences of others at
the seminar was highly significant. (Annex 2)
3.3 EFFECTIVENESS
20
Effectiveness of knowledge and information acquisition can be based on success rate of
transferring information to others or its multiplying effects on colleagues. To this end, an
assessment of how participants used the benefit acquired at the seminar was made.
Respondents gave a wide array of ways in which this benefit has been put to valuable
use. For respondents on the CTA seminar, 40% indicated promotion of local language
use, and 20% each for acquisition of useful materials, enhanced research capacity,
publication, exposure and new contacts, and acquisition of new techniques and skills.
For co-seminar it was 30% each for enhanced performance and acquisition of new
techniques and skills, while formulation of policies, enhanced research capacity and
improved teaching skill has 15% each. With respect to seminar research programme, the
issues of acquisition of new techniques and skills, exposure and new contacts, and
enhanced performance were 44% each while enhanced research capacity 33% and
promotion of efficiency 22% were also prominently mentioned. (Annex 3.) Although
these proportions are relatively low they however portrayed a positive pattern.
In almost all cases, the lessons learnt from the seminars were shared with other
colleagues. Through face-to-face discussions 88, 84, and 60% respectively for seminar
support programme, co-seminar and CTA seminar. Back-to-office report for CTA
seminar, co-seminar and seminar support programme were 40, 46 and 66% respectively.
Only seminar support programme and co-seminar respondents 77 and 42% respectively,
mentioned sharing lessons learnt from seminar through teaching. A third of co-seminar
respondents indicated sharing lessons learnt through electronic mail, responses for CTA
seminar and seminar support programme on this issue were negligible. (Annex4).
Among respondents who attended the CTA annual seminar, and seminar support
programme, efforts in sharing lessons improved the performance of their organisation by
100 percent. Response to similar question among those who attended the co-seminar was
lower, 69%. Examples of such organisational improvements given by those who
attended the CTA annual seminar were better collaboration (60%); corresponding figure
for seminar support programme was 33%. Improved skills and acquisition of new
techniques was also 66% for seminar support programme and 23% for co-seminar.
21
3.4 FACTORS AFFECTING
Only about a quarter of those surveyed have attended other seminars, although those who
attended seminar support programme appeared to have attended other seminars 45%
more often. Seminars attended however were more in the respondent’s country than
outside. This may be due to cost constraints.
Such seminars had diverse topics, but the subject matter was mostly related to
agriculture. Prominent among major seminar topic were National Forum on Irrigation,
Nigerian Livestock, Global Biodiversity Information training workshop, Women and
Rural Agriculture, Low Wastewater Treatment Technology, Urban, International
Conference on Pan African Fish & Fisheries, Use of Farmland in Acidic Soil, Food
African Conference on irrigation, biodiversity, water treatment, soil and fisheries.
Prominent among international donor agencies, which supported seminar attendance are
USAID, GTZ, IFAD, ILRI, UNESCO-IOC and World Fish Centre. National
governments and institutions of higher learning also sponsored attendance at local
seminars. Attendance at these other seminars significantly reinforced the knowledge and
skills acquired from CTA seminars.
Although responses were poor to the question as to what extent the information obtained
from other seminars attended reinforced those of CTA sponsored seminars, it is important
to note in Table 4 that more than half of the respondents in seminar support programme
felt that there were positive reinforcement.

meetings and publications being the major ones.
3.5 Gender, age and academic qualification of seminar participants
22
In figure 4, responses showed that CTA seminar had more gender balance than the other
two seminar types. This may be because CTA plays a major role in the selection of
participants for this annual seminar type. It is important to note that CTA does not have
full control over the selection of participants for co-seminars and seminar support
programme. There is need to ensure that more women have the opportunity to participate
in both the co-seminar and seminar support programmes particularly with respect to CTA
sponsorship. More women should be encouraged to seek seminar sponsorship, and the
seminar topics should include subjects of interest to women.

Considering the age factor as shown in Figure 5, those who attended CTA seminar tend
to be older, above 36 years of age, whereas younger participant between ages 26 to 35

were included in co-seminar and seminar support programme. None of the locationbased seminars had younger participant of 16 to 26 years. It is therefore important that
CTA seminar and co- seminars appeal more to younger participant.

With respect to academic qualification in Figure 6, participants in the CTA seminars had

co-seminar and the seminar support programme, selected participant are those with
degrees. (MSc; PhD). None of the location-based seminars attracted participants with
technical certificate and diplomas.
3.6 REPORT FOR ORGANISATIONS
Majority of participants surveyed shared messages and lessons leant with others within
their organization. Two thirds of those surveyed used either back-to-office report;
institutional seminar or in-house review, while one third used journal publication. Other
methods used include coffee break discussions, and the Internet.
Attendees efforts in sharing messages and lessons learnt has led to some improvement in
the organization, this aspect was more demonstrated in local organizations.
All the organizations surveyed indicated benefit from other CTA services after their staff
attended seminars.
25
The other CTA services from which surveyed participant indicated benefit are
publications and serving as resource persons in CTA trainings.
All the organisations surveyed gave positive response when asked whether they would
allow their staff to attend CTA seminars in future
In general the entire organisation surveyed acknowledged CTA’s support for seminars
conferences, meetings through direct invitation or sponsorship and the publication of
conference proceedings.
3.7 ORGANISATION INTERVIEWS
Responses obtained from structured interviews of organisation heads are shown in Table
4, below. In one organisation there had been complete turnover of staff, so detailed
information could not be obtained. There is therefore need for evaluation to be
conducted soon after the seminar, to ensure that those who participated are still available
to respond to enquiries.
Funding is a major limitation to consistent seminar attendance by the staff of almost all
the organisation surveyed; this is why CTA support and sponsorship was often
appreciated and credited with the ability of staff to attend all seminar types.
In almost all the organisation interviewed, staff were said to apply the knowledge
obtained from seminars to either improved work performance, introduce new innovations
and efficiency, or improve teaching, research and student supervision.
It was also indicated that staff has continued better access to information and interactions
with scientists from other organisations locally and internationally.
Back-to-office reports and face-to-face informal discussions appear to be the major
means by which information obtained at seminars are disseminated and shared with other
staff members.
It is interesting to note that organisations have different criteria for selection of staff to
participate in seminars. Some of the criteria given are: relevance to work and availability
of funds, experience, qualification and age, preference for younger staff members and
relevance to attendee’s discipline. All the organisations interviewed expressed keen
interest in permitting staff to attend future seminars; this is an indication that the seminars
are beneficial to the organisations.

Participating in organised seminars is a major way by which scientists, policy makers,
field operatives and university teachers rejuvenate themselves professionally by acquiring
new and up-to-date information in their various disciplines, so it is a very important
aspect of development. Respondents in this evaluation agreed that CTA as an
organisation occupies a foremost position in information dissemination through the
seminars. It is equally important that the sponsorship of CTA is by various means, either
in cooperation with other development agencies or through individual sponsorship.
Whatever be the case CTA seem to be able to attract a cross section of participants
irrespective of gender, age, and academic qualifications.
Considering all the indicators examined in all the location based seminars it can be
concluded that respondents were unanimous that they were all efficient, relevant,
effective, and sustainable although to various degrees. In rating the seminar types, results
obtained from this evaluation strongly suggests that the seminar support programme is
the most efficient, most relevant in matching the participants expectations with seminar
objectives; most effective as it had the best multiplying effect and is the most sustainable.
It is important to note that in general fund limitations seem to affect the potential
achievement of the seminars. For instance one of the weak points of the seminars is
participants welfare and logistics. These weaknesses require funds. Similarly almost all
the organisations surveyed placed fund limitation as a factor militating against constant
seminar attendance.
There is ample evidence from this survey to conclude that information and knowledge
gained from these seminars are shared with other colleagues. Back-to-office report is a
popular way of achieving this. A lot of information transfer also occurs through
interaction at in-house review meetings, coffee breaks and other face-to-face encounters.
Seminar benefits that were universally mentioned by all respondents were exposure to
new contacts, acquisition of new techniques, interaction with experts and exchange of
ideas. These positive effects either on the individual or organisations can hardly be fully
quantified, but in this survey such positive effects were frequently encountered such as
obtaining new significant information, exposure to innovations and new techniques, and
opportunity for networking and future collaboration.
CHAPTER FOUR : RESULTATS ET ANALYSE DES ENQUETES EN PAYS
FRANCOPHONES
28
4.1 Efficacité
Profil des personnes ayant répondu au questionnaire
Il y a eu une réponse équilibrée selon les différents types d’institutions auxquels se
rattachent les participants, mais avec une sous représentation dans les réponses de
personnes du secteur privé.
Appréciation générale
Les objectifs de l’atelier étaient clairs dans l’ensemble pour les participants, puisque ils
sont 46,2 % à estimer qu’ils étaient très clairs et 39,8 % à estimer qu’ils étaient clairs.
Toutefois on note que 23,1 % jugent les objectifs peu clairs.
En ce qui concerne l’organisation du séminaire, on obtient les chiffres globaux suivants :
-
15,4 % de personnes hautement satisfaits
73,1% de personnes satisfaites
7,7 % de personnes partiellement satisfaites
3,8 % de personnes non satisfaites
Les points forts des activités reposent sur : la qualité des présentations en premier lieu
(40,9%), le profil des participants, la qualité des échanges (27,3%), la pédagogie du
déroulement. La logistique et autres facilités offertes ne vient qu’en dernière position
(9,1%.
En ce qui concerne les points faibles, le temps imparti vient largement en tête avec 33,3
% des réponses. Pour les participants, cela n’a pas permis de profiter pleinement de la
teneur des présentations ou de l’approfondissement des échanges.
Séminaire annuel du CTA
Les objectifs sont jugés très clairs à 33, 3 % seulement. Et seulement 11 % se déclarent
hautement satisfaits ; le chiffre de personnes satisfaites pour l’organisation est toutefois
élevé (88,9%). Les points forts sont à relative égale valeur : qualité des présentations,
profil des participants invités, pédagogie suivie.
En ce qui concerne les points faibles, le temps du séminaire est le plus fréquemment cité
(57,1%).
Co séminaires
Seulement 22,2 % jugent les objectifs très clairs. On note que jusqu’à 44,4 % de
personnes jugent ces objectifs partiellement clairs. Les personnes satisfaites représentent
77,8%. Aucun ne se déclare hautement satisfait.
Les points forts reposent en premier lieu sur la qualité des présentations (42,9 %).
Les points faibles sont d’égale importance (temps imparti, logistique et accueil, profil des
participants)
Séminaires appuyés
En ce qui concerne ce type de séminaire on note que jusqu’à 87,5 % de personnes
estiment les objectifs très clairs et aucun n’estime que les objectifs étaient partiellement
29
clairs. Ils enregistrent 37,5 % de personnes hautement satisfaites de l’organisation et 50
% de personnes de satisfaits.
Les points forts reposent sur la qualité des présentations (50%), alors que le point faible
pour les séminaires supportés sont également répartis .
4.2 Pertinence
D’une manière générale, les objectifs répondent aux attentes des participants. Seulement
30,8 % des personnes estiment les objectifs partiellement satisfaisant
Les bénéfices acquis lors du séminaire se déclinaient en plusieurs composantes :
nouvelles informations, consensus sur stratégie et politique, nouveaux contacts etc…
D’une manière générale ils sont un peu plus de 80 % à en avoir tiré aux moins deux des
bénéfices mentionnés dans l’enquête ; la plupart en ayant tiré trois et plus. Un nombre
très faible déclare (moins de 8%) n’avoir tiré qu’un seul bénéfice.
65 % des personnes estiment avoir tiré une autre expérience d’enrichissement au cours du
séminaire de manière significative. Ils sont seulement 19,2 % à estimer ce bénéfice
partiellement significatif et 3,8 % à estimer n’avoir pas tiré du tout de bénéfice à ce sujet.
La majorité des participants ont vu à travers l’activité une opportunité de mise en réseau.
Seulement 7,7 % n’ont pas trouvé d’opportunité à ce niveau.
33,3 % de personnes déclarent les objectifs partiellement satisfaisants.
Les participants ont tiré plusieurs des bénéfices attendus (cf chapitre au dessus) dans leur
majorité. Dans leur majorité, les participants ont tiré bénéfice d’une autre expérience de
manière significative (66,7%). La même proportion de personnes estime avoir trouvé une
opportunité de mise en réseau à l’issue du séminaire annuel du CTA.
Co séminaires
Ils sont seulement 11 % à déclarer les objectifs hautement conformes aux attentes. Et
jusqu’à 55,6 % à estimer que les objectifs étaient partiellement conformes aux attentes.
Ils ont dans leur majorité tiré plusieurs des bénéfices attendus
55,6 % ont tiré de manière significative bénéfice d’une autre expérience. Toutefois les
opportunités de mise en réseau bien que réels sont modérés, puisque jusqu’à 44,4% de
personnes déclarent qu’ils ont trouvé de manière partielle une opportunité de mise en
réseau.
Aucun participant ne déclare que les objectifs étaient partiellement satisfaisant ; ce qui
indique le très fort degré de satisfaction. De plus , ils sont 100 % à en avoir tiré plusieurs
des bénéfices (au moins deux) supposés.
76,5 % ont tiré de manière significative bénéfice d’une autre expérience et 25% de
manière très significative. Très nettement les opportunités de mise en réseau sont forts.
Le quart des participants déclarent avoir trouvé à l’issue de l’activité une opportunité de
mise en réseau de manière très significative ; et 66,5 % de manière significative.
S’il y a une pertinence globale des objectifs des séminaires, pour l’un de nos interlocuteur
dans l’entretien avec les organisations, cela concerne surtout les participants pris
individuellement ; et d’expliquer : « en ce qui concerne la participation aux séminaires, la
direction donne son approbation et son aval aux différentes propositions soumises par les
chercheurs. Elle joue un rôle d’interface et de facilitateur. Les contacts avec le CTA
30
relève plutôt des initiatives propres de cette institution ou d’opportunités saisies par le
chercheur lui-même à titre individuel ».
Cet avis n’est pas partagé par une autre institution, petite celle là et de statut associatif
(ONG) : « les séminaires du CTA ont répondu à nos besoins institutionnels. Il s’est agi de
thèmes qui nous préoccupaient fortement. Nous avons approuvé les séminaires en
fonction de nos besoins. Nous désignons les participants en fonction du thème de l’atelier
et du profil requis pour les participants ». Et d’ajouter : « Pour l’appui dans l’accès aux
informations et aux formations, le CTA n’a pas son égal pour nous ».
Parmi les bénéfices les plus significatifs retirés lors des séminaires, on peut citer :
-
une meilleure connaissance du CTA
l’acquisition de nouvelles connaissance et la familiarité avec de nouveaux
concepts
de nouvelles relations (qu’il s’agisse de professionnels ou encore de bailleurs de
fonds)
de nouvelles informations pertinentes sur le champ du travail
l’abonnement à une revue du CTA
Quel que soit le type de séminaire , ce type d’appréciation se retrouve.
4.3 Effectivité
Les participants ont généralement utilisé plusieurs méthodes de manière concomitante
pour le partage de leurs expériences : que ce soit les rapports au bureau, la discussion
directe, l’enseignement, les ateliers etc…Ils sont 18,2% à n’avoir utilisé que seulement le
rapport au bureau et 22,7 % à n’avoir utilisé que la discussion directe. Et cette
appréciation se réflète ainsi quel que soit le type de séminaire.
En ce qui concerne le partage des leçons du séminaire, ils sont 92,9% à l’avoir fait pour
l’ensemble des séminaires.
Globalement les participants indiquent qu’il y a eu une amélioration dans les
performances de l’organisation : 68 %. On note toutefois qu’un nombre significatif
d’entre eux estiment qu’il n’y a pas eu d’amélioration dans la performance de
l’organisation.
L’ensemble des participants ont eu à partager les leçons du séminaire à leur retour
Si 66,7 % des participants soutiennent qu’il y a une amélioration dans les performances
de l’organisation, ils sont toutefois jusqu’à 33 % à indiquer le contraire.
Co séminaires
77,8% des participants indiquent qu’ils ont eu à partager les leçons du séminaire.
Pour ce type d’activités, la proportion des personnes qui indiquent qu’il n’y a pas eu à
proprement parler une amélioration dans les performances de l’organisation est plus
élevée que ceux qui disent qu’il y en a eu une : 55 , 6% répondent non contre 44,4% pour
le oui.
31
Tous les participants à ce type de séminaire indiquent qu’ils ont eu à partager les leçons
du séminaire. De la même manière, ils soulignent tous que cela s’est traduit par une
amélioration dans les performances de l’organisation.
Les exemples de bénéfices et d’amélioration
Les participants ayant tiré profit des rencontres ont introduit des améliorations dans leur
travail :
-
soit par des innovations dans le programme de recherche ou de travail déjà
existant
soit dans l’élaboration de nouveaux projets
soit dans la mise en place effective d’un réseau ou des échanges post atelier
soit dans la réorganisation de banques de données
soit dans la production d’articles scientifiques
La multiplicité des exemples indique que pris individuellement la majorité des
participants ont amélioré leurs performances et que cela s’est répercuté d’une façon ou
d’une autre sur les activités de l’organisation. Ces améliorations, selon leur nature, se
répercutent sur l’organisation : cas de banques de données, de nouveaux projets ou encore
de l’amélioration de programmes existant. Il reste toutefois difficile de mesurer les effets
sur l’organisation en tant que telle. On peut penser que c’est plutôt le département ou le
poste dans lequel le participant est impliqué qui se trouve amélioré et par ricochet
l’organisation dans une certaine mesure. Et il reste incertain d’aller plus loin dans
l’ampleur de cela.
Les exemples d’amélioration dans l’organisation sont présents, mais non explicités sur
leur portée et la façon dont elles ont influencé une large partie ou l’ensemble de
l’organisation.
Certains interlocuteurs (ONG ou associations) , dans les entretiens, donnent des
précisions sur cette utilité pour l’organisation : « Grâce aux séminaires offerts par le
CTA, il nous a été possible de procéder à plusieurs types d’innovation :
-
la mise en place et la maintenance du site WEB
la planification, grâce aux formations reçues sur les thèmes prioritaires
l’amélioration des méthodes de montage des Projets, grâce à la formation reçue »
D’autres (organisation paysanne) indiquent comment ils ont tiré parti de cela pour
améliorer leurs formations : « la rencontre sur l’élaboration des projets nous a servi à
élaborer nos propres projets, pour les autres séminaires, nous en avons tiré profit, excepté
celui relatif à l’élaboration des rapports d’activités ».
32
4.4 Facteurs affectant la durabilité
Les participants ayant par la suite assisté à un seul séminaire sont 39,3 %. Ceux ayant
assisté à au moins deux séminaires sont 10,7 %. Et ceux qui n’ont par la suite assisté à
aucune autre rencontre représente la moitié, 50 %. Il aurait été intéressant d’examiner ce
que ce pourcentage représente pour les participants aux rencontres des différentes
années ; parce que pour ceux ayant participé à des rencontres en 2003, ne pas encore
avoir assisté à d’autres rencontres lors du premier semestre de 2004 n’est pas
particulièrement alarmant.
Pour la plupart ces activités organisées à la suite du séminaire se sont déroulées en
Afrique de l’ouest (77,8% des cas) et ont été financées par une institution non africaine
(coopération bilatérale ou multilatérale) à 77,8 %. Et toutes ces remarques sont valables
quel que soit le type de séminaire. Le CTA est cité dans seulement 11,1% des cas.
Les séminaires qui ont été organisés par la suite ont renforcé les précédents d’après les
personnes :
-
de manière très significative dans 15,4 % des cas
de manière significative dans 38,5% des cas
partiellement dans 15,4 % des cas
pas du tout dans 30,8 % des cas
Les participants au séminaire annuel du CTA sont 60% à n’avoir assisté à aucun autre
séminaire après, ce qui est considérable.
Co séminaires
Ils sont 50 % à n’avoir participé par la suite à aucun autre séminaire et 40 % à avoir
assisté à un autre.
Pour cette catégorie de séminaires, ils sont 37,5 % à n’avoir assisté par la suite à aucun
autre séminaire.
En ce qui concerne l’ampleur des effets sur l’organisation, leur partage et surtout leur
durabilité, certains interlocuteurs sont réservés. Le point de vue suivant reflète celui du
Directeur d’un Institut important de recherche au niveau national. « Dans notre
institution, il y a plusieurs mécanismes qui sont : les comptes rendus de Mission
(transmis à la Direction), et aussi l’animation scientifique. L’animation scientifique se
réalise au niveau des programmes ou des départements eux-mêmes en fonction de
l’importance du sujet. Mais en fait, le mécanisme ne fonctionne pas bien ; et il n’est pas
stimulant. En ce qui concerne la valeur ajoutée des séminaires CTA, seuls les chercheurs
peuvent le spécifier. Au niveau institutionnel, il n’y a rien d’évident . Les chercheurs pris
individuellement tirent un bon parti des activités avec le CTA, mais il n’y a pas de suivi
institutionnel par la Direction du CTA en tant que tel ».
33
4.5 Autres points d’attention relatifs aux séminaires
Le nombre de personnes ayant répondu au questionnaire étant limité, il serait risqué de
tirer des conclusions en ce qui ce qui concerne les questions relatives au genre ou encore
les questions relatives au genre ou encore à l’âge.
En ce qui concerne les séminaires du CTA, la moitié des participants indiquent avoir
bénéficié d’un autre service du CTA. Toutefois, lorsque l’on demande aux participants de
préciser le type de service offert, l’écrasante majorité en est incapable (78 % ne donnent
pas de réponse). Ils sont seulement 15,2 % à citer les revues du CTA, et 6,1 % à évoquer
la facilitation pour la participation à d’autres rencontres. On peut penser que la poursuite
de l’appui pour bénéficier d’autres rencontres n’est pas constante.
On note quand même qu’ils sont 45% à indiquer que l’accès à un autre service les a aidé
à faire usage de l’information acquis. 36,4 % répondent par la négative. Le CTA ne
fournit pas une assistance suffisante à l’information, permettant à la majorité des
participants de faciliter l’ usage de l’information acquise aux rencontres.
On remarque par ailleurs qu’ils sont très peu nombreux à se prononcer sur d’autres appuis
possibles du CTA : moins de 20 % des personnes ayant répondu au questionnaire. Ceux
qui se prononcent indiquent en majorité souhaiter plus d’informations sur le CTA luimême (activités, services offerts et surtout opportunités d’accès à d’autres rencontres ).
Même le directeur d’une institution nationale se fait l’écho de ce type d’appréciations :
« le partenariat avec le CTA est basé sur les requêtes individuelles des chercheurs. Il ne
prend pas en compte les besoins de renforcement à l’échelle d’un programme, d’un
département ou même du service d’information et de communication interne au sein de
notre institution. Cela s’explique par le fait qu’il n’y a pas de concertation préalable avec
la Direction, avant l’offre de services. Il faudrait dit-il « que le CTA, sur la base de ces
orientations, approche notre institution, ou un ensemble d’ institutions de la sous région
travaillant sur la recherche, pour ensuite définir ses offres d’activités ou permettre à celles
–ci de disposer de l’ensemble des informations pour formuler des demandes
conséquentes (politique de communication). Le mécanisme sur « comment se faire
appuyer par le CTA, n’est pas bien perceptible ».
A la lumière de l’ensemble de ces informations, il est difficile de tirer des conclusions. Il
semble toutefois que la majorité des participants souhaitent plus d’informations sur le
CTA lui-même. Probablement les rencontres ne leur offrent pas une occasion suffisante
pour cela ; ils aimeraient mieux découvrir les opportunités de développer leurs
compétences à l’issue de la rencontre. Parmi ceux qui se prononcent sur les remarques
finales, plusieurs indiquent ce besoin d’un meilleur accès aux séminaires (disponibilité
des informations et procédures de négociations). Il y a une vision positive du CTA,
relativement juste, puisque très peu indiquent des attentes en appui logistique . Toutefois
l’attente est très importante et n’est pas à la mesure des appuis effectifs.
Quelques remarques et suggestions finales
Certains soulignent le caractère tardif de l’évaluation. Cela suggère qu’ils ont eu des
difficultés à se rappeler peut-être de la qualité de l’organisation et de son déroulement.
Globalement les remarques finales exhortent le CTA à poursuivre et amplifier davantage
ses actions en matière d’accès aux informations.

4.6 Les visites d’études
En introduction on peut noter une réponse équilibrée selon les différents types
d’institutions auxquels se rattachent les participants, mais avec une sous représentation
dans les réponses de personnes du secteur privé.

matières premières sont à souligner ; écoutons ce témoignage d’un responsable d’une
unité de production privée qui se trouvait en même temps participant à ne visite d’étude:
« Suite à la visite d’échange, j’ai pu grâce à l’accès à un petit financement, procéder à la
construction d’une salle de production, indépendante de ma cuisine. Toutefois, je n’ai pas
pu adopter certaines innovations que j’ai découvertes ; parmi elles la plus importante,
l’utilisation de coagulant pour la fermentation. On n’en trouve pas sur le marché « .

4.6.4 remarques sur la durabilité
La majorité des participants ont eu à participer à d’autres visites d’études. Le quart
d’entre eux a participé à deux visites d’études et 87,5 % ont participé à au moins à une
visite d’étude après celle-ci.
Seulement 12,5 % des participants estiment que les visites d’études qui ont suivi n’ont
pas renforcé celle qui a été l’objet de l’évaluation.
Un témoignage illustre une position dominante des participants : « Au retour les
participants organisent des activités de restitution auxquels prennent par les
professionnels du secteur. La participante à la visite en France, a eu ensuite même à
organiser quelques activités de formation sur la thématique « Qualité et hygiène » dans la
transformation du lait », contribuant ainsi à une démultiplication des savoirs acquis.
La méthode de la visite d’études a inspiré un des Projets qui avait envoyé un agent.
« Suite à la visite d’échange à laquelle nous avons pris part (acquis sur le plan des
contacts et de la méthodologie d’organisation des visites d’études), nous avons décidé
d’organiser une visite de plus grande ampleur pour 35 opérateurs du secteur ».
5.0 Conclusions
Efficacité
Les différents séminaires ont dans l’ensemble été efficaces, en ce sens que les objectifs
ont été plutôt clairs et l’organisation appréciée. Il faut souligner à ce niveau que les
séminaires appuyés et les visites d’études s’en sortent avec le degré de satisfaction le plus
élevé.
Pertinence
Les objectifs ont répondu aux attentes des participants d’une manière générale. Les
participants ont retiré plusieurs types de bénéfices de manière simultanée, que ce soit en
matière d’accès à de nouvelles informations, de l’acquisition de nouveaux concepts , ou
encore de nouveaux contacts. On remarque ici encore que le degré de conformité des
objectifs par rapport aux attentes, ainsi que l’étendue des bénéfices tirés est de loin plus
important pour les séminaires appuyés que les autres. Pour les visites d’études la
pertinence des activités se révèle également remarquable.
Effectivité
Il ressort de l’analyse que des améliorations multiples ont été introduites à l’issue des
séminaires. Il semble que cela concerne le champ de travail spécifique du participant en
tout premier lieu : des progrès et des innovations ont ainsi pus être introduits. A certains
égards, ces améliorations ont profité à toute l’organisation, lorsqu’elles ont été
38
appropriées pour être appliquées sur un programme global ou transversal par exemple. Le
score atteint par les participants des séminaires appuyés est là encore très net par rapport
aux deux autres.
Les entretiens qualitatifs avec les organisations, fait ressortir que si le relais des bénéfices
des séminaires est vrai pour certaines organisations, ce n’est pas le cas pour toutes. Cela
amène à se poser des questions : à quelles conditions ce relais est-il facilité ? Y-t-il des
types d’organisations où ce relais est plus facile que d’autres. Nos investigations
indiquent que les petites organisations (Projets, ONG, Organisations Paysannes) ont
mieux réussi à intégrer les bénéfices des rencontres . Faut-il généraliser cette conclusion ?
La prudence s’impose au vu du nombre de responsables d’organisations rencontrées.
En ce qui concerne les visites d’études prises de manière spécifique le point fort réside
dans les contacts directs entre acteurs partageant les mêmes activités. Toutefois, le choix
des participants doit être effectué de façon plus intelligente de façon à tenir compte du
potentiel d’utilisation effective des savoirs faires autres, ainsi que même de la
démultiplication des informations acquises.
Durabilité
Si pour les visites d’études on remarque une reproduction de ce type de rencontres, ce
n’est pas le cas au même titre des séminaires. Toutefois les avis sont plutôt nuancés et
timides sur le degré dans lequel il y a une continuité dans le renforcement des acquis.
Comme si les activités soutenus ne s’imbriquaient pas étroitement .
En ce qui concerne la maintenance des acquis, quelle est la contribution du CTA ? Les
revues diffusées jouent un rôle, mais le taux de personnes qui le mentionnent reste à
améliorer très significativement. Les contacts et la mise en réseau le permettent aussi. Les
participants suggèrent comme type d’appui possible par le CTA, davantage
d’informations sur les opportunités disponibles au CTA et surtout sur l’après activité.
Qu’est ce qui peut être fait pour améliorer ce qui se fait déjà ? Là-dessus, les enquêtes
quantitatives restent à caractère général, et malheureusement l’étendue de l’enquête n’a
pas pu approfondir ces aspects par entretiens qualitatifs avec un échantillon de
participants.

Majority of respondents have either Msc or PhD degrees. More respondent 50% from French
speaking West Africa have technical Certificate/Diploma for CTA seminar. This may be due to
more focus being given to participants from organizations where acquisition of university degree
is not a prerequisite in French speaking West Africa.

there are a high percentage of participants who considered this aspect partially consistent,
especially for co seminars (35%) and CTA seminars (26%). Conversely, a large proportion (58%)
of seminars supports programs participants consider seminar objectives to be highly consistent
with the expectations.

It is apparent that more participants in the CTA seminar tend to benefit more from others CTA
services. This may be due to a more direct involvement of CTA personnel and availability of
CTA services information during the seminar. Although participants in the SSP seem to have
better access to others CTA services

In terms of whether information and knowledge acquired in other seminars reinforced those
organised or sponsored by CTA, a quarter of respondents indicated no such effect. Nevertheless
majority of respondents in all cases indicate positive reinforcement; particularly 43 % of SSP
participants expressed that this reinforcement was highly significant.
5.5 ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS
Majority of participants surveyed shared messages and lessons leant with others within
their organization. Three fourth of all participants surveyed in English speaking West
Africa said that seminar attendees from their organizations shared message and lessons
learnt with others within the organization. \
Among French speaking respondents back-to-office report, scientific animation, and
training sessions form the major means of sharing messages and lessons learnt.
For English speaking participants, two thirds of those surveyed used either back to office
report, institutional seminar or in-house review, while one third used journal publication.
Other methods used include Coffee break discussions, and the Internet.
Attendees efforts in sharing messages and lessons learnt has led to some improvement in
the organization, this is more evident in smaller organizations in French speaking West
Africa. For English speaking West Africa this aspect is more demonstrated in local
organizations.
In both French and English speaking countries, the organizations surveyed indicated
benefit from other CTA services after their staff attended seminar.
44
37
62
The other CTA services from which surveyed participant indicated benefit in both
English and French-speaking countries is publications either in form of reviews or
abstracts. Others mentioned serving as resource persons in CTA trainings.
All the organisations surveyed in both French and English-speaking countries gave
positive response when asked whether they would allow their staff to attend CTA
seminars in future
5.6 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
¾ Seminars are very effective means of propagating knowledge, CTA may want to
consider allocating more money to this sub-programme, especially the number of
sponsorship in the seminar support programme. It would be money well spent.
¾ It is important for CTA to conduct evaluations for seminars at a time not too long
after the seminars are held, to ensure that those who participated are still available
to respond to enquiries and that vivid experiences can be fresh and easily recalled.
¾ Evaluation of efficiency and relevant aspects of activities should be captured just
after the event
¾ CTA must improve dialogue and partnership with large organizations; it seems
that use of activities results are not adequately incorporated inside as small ones
(Project, NGO, Farmer’s organizations )
¾ It is also recommended that participants sponsored by CTA should give correct
working e-mails and have a system of obtaining updated versions in case of
changes, to facilitate easier follow-up actions.
¾ It is recommended that more women should be sponsored to attend both the coseminar and seminar support programme.
¾ Deliberate attempts should be made to attract younger participants who are active
practically on the field to all the seminar series.
¾ More thought should be given to supporting and sponsoring more people to
participate in the seminar support programmes because its impact is more felt, its
organisation and objectives are best appreciated.
¾ Efforts should be made to enhance welfare of sponsored participants.
¾ It is also recommended that time management at seminars be improved.
¾ It is apparent that fewer seminars were held in English speaking West Africa
compared with their French-speaking counterparts, it is pertinent to maintain
45
some balance in this respect especially considering the higher population of
Anglophone countries in West Africa.
Les facteurs expliquant les limites des recommandations apportées par le présent rapport
sont :
-
-
-
L’ insuffisance ou le faible approfondissement avec le personnel du CTA (en
particulier ceux en charge du management des séminaires et visites d’études), des
défis qui se sont posés à leur service ou département dans la perspective de
l’amélioration des séminaires et visites d’études au début de mise en œuvre du
programme couvrant la période 2001-2003
le faible niveau d’entretiens sur les améliorations concrètes apportées au
partenariat avec les organisations et dans l’appui opérationnel pour les
séminaires ; les enquêtes quantitatives ont esquissées des aspects, mais des
entretiens approfondis complémentaires avec certains participants auraient pu
permettre de mettre en exergue la traduction des améliorations projetés par le
CTA dans la réalité (préparation et identification des participants, appuis
logistiques, appuis post séminaires etc…) . Cela aurait permit d’évaluer plus
concrètement les dispositions récentes introduites par le CTA et être plus précis
sur les propositions nouvelles
le nombre limité des organisations ayant été rencontrées ; il aurait fallu par type
d’organisations (institution publique, Projet, entreprise privé, ONG ou association
paysanne au moins trois organisations. Probablement cette typologie gagnerait –
elle à un être un axe des analyses de résultats des enquêtes quantitatives ; mais la
taille de notre échantillon nous en dissuade.
Sur les questions méthodologiques proprement dites, des dispositions devraient être
prises dans le futur :
-
-
pour donner des directives précises , avec leurs implications, sur la nécessité
d’avoir une base de données commune , s’il y a deux consultants travaillant sur
une même région
pour prendre des dispositions pour que dans chacun des pays, un suivi des
questionnaires se fasse (par contact direct) par un relais local, de façon à rehausser
le taux de réponses, au vu des limites de l’enquête par voie électronique.
