IRI Colombia has prepared didactic aids for training and capacity building workshops with its 36 local chapters. The tools review the basic contents related to the purpose and methodology for the preparation of IRI local action plans and explain the scope and content of the evaluation exercises of these plans. IRI Colombia has also prepared methodological guides for the evaluation of environmental and pastoral action plans. These guides provide guidance on the analysis of the causes that have contributed to the achievement of action objectives, the obstacles that have limited the achievement of objectives, the alternatives to overcome these obstacles and the degree of uptake of pedagogical resources distributed among the coordinators of the 36 IRI local chapters.
