It is a tool for the pair of trainers (project facilitator and community facilitator in the RECASE project in Rwanda).
The aim is not to evaluate their performance in training. We started from their feelings (grid) to discuss them and find solutions through debriefings at the end of the training session.
This grid allows people who are new to training to remember good practices on preparation, facilitation, etc. and to set themselves up for improvement for the next session.
