(introduction...)

The hamlet of Majgaon was indicated by project management as a suitable location for carrying out this pilot evaluation and re-planning workshop because of the very positive relationships existing between the project and local user groups, the significant progress made in the implementation of 1996 CAP, and, last but not least, its physical proximity (30 to 45 minutes walking distance) to project base-camp. In order to become familiar with the local situation, a preliminary review of the PRA findings and the state-of-the art of CAP activities implementation was carried out by the consultant. This information is hereby summarised with the aim of setting the description of the workshop experience in its social context and organisational background.
