Surveys of beneficiary perceptions of the quality of outputs (such as plans, reports, workshops, training, and other communications) should be included in the design of the TA project. It is difficult to say much about the quality of outputs and their potential contribution to targeted outcomes without such feedback. The development of easily accessible awareness-raising materials targeting decision makers in other river basins who are involved or interested in IWRM and RBO activities is a useful alternative to highly technical publications.
