Satisfaction of project partners with IICD’s support
Compared to 2006, satisfaction levels amongst project partners during the project-formulation phase declined in 2007. One reason for this could be that for some of those projects – around 50% – there was a relatively long waiting period before implementation could begin. For a number of different reasons, the formulation process took longer than expected. In spite of this, the overall figures for direct assistance and ownership are quite high.

The level of satisfaction amongst project partners with regard to IICD’s support during implementation dropped somewhat in 2007 compared to 2006. This lower level might be due in part to the changing role that IICD is playing in those countries where projects are now running without continued financial support from IICD. Partners that are now operating independently nevertheless often continue to request additional strategic advice and support from IICD.
