Abyan Assessment Report 8-9 July 2012

5.0: Lessons Learned
5.1: Training:
5.1.1-The insufficient time duration of training;

Although the teams received two full days of training on MIRA methodology (theoretically & practically), it was insufficient to provide them with a full understanding on the MIRA forms and the data to be collected, on the other hand an additional training material in Arabic unfortunately was not explained to the teams thoroughly and were not handed over to the teams before enough time.

Lesson learned:

• 
  Sufficient training period(theoretical & practical) should be assigned to the assessment teams and keep the trained staff in roster,
  
• 
  Time needs to be dedicated for additional clarification
  
• 
  Training material should be provided to teams a week before conducting field visits to ensure full understanding of the assessment.
