Services provided by SW Nepal
S.W. Nepal was assigned to prepare a project completion report for all the 31 completed projects under cluster 1 and 4. In undertaking this assignment, SWN carried out intensive literature research of relevant documents and carried out consultation meeting and key informant interview with client and IAs. The major challenge encountered during the process was unavailability of focal person of the projects that were closed after completion. The expert team used Snowball Effect methodology in those cases and collected projects information such as on sustainability, target group, cross cutting issues, funding and finance was compiled and presented in the report format prescribed by GIZ.
