related to the IDP issues, budget monitoring
program that is related to good governances, Why hunger program that
especially related to women headed families because of the war , disappearance

Those

programs of National Fisheries Solidarity Movement especially in the North and
East . We have been intervening many ways to develop the community being
conducted different programs within last year as a civil organization in the North and East, Sri Lanka. So, we
planed two days workshop to evaluate the progress had within the project year.
We had five objectives such as asses the impacts of the programs, prepare a
basic action plan for next year, identify the challengers, shearing experience
among the partners and consider the access to media, networks and other campaign.

We used different methods to assess the achievements on programs as two sectors. The year end evaluation and planning meeting
was held on the common programs which are being implemented by National
Fisheries Solidarity Movement in the North and east on 13/14 December 2012 in
the NAFSO secretariat office, Negombo. We
met the district coordinators and volunteers who are the responsible staff in
field level in first two days of the workshop. Common discussions, group work, presentations,
games and some practical activities were used to be come out the
achievements. Every group has done desk
work as prior preparation before coming to the meeting in district level. We considered some areas on the progress such
as membership development, leadership building, conducting meeting, reporting,
empowerment of women headed families, usage of the media and common and
internal campaigns and also trainings they got.

the evaluation meeting. We were able to come out the achievements on different
programs in district level. District coordinators and volunteers engaged
