What went wrong and should be improved on in future peer reviews During Preparatory Phase we did not understand the tool the same in future we need to have a thorough workshop on both the tool and capturing During peer review period Making sure that there is internet connection for capturing Modems should be given in advance with data bundles. Driving long distances, then assessing, driving back and capturing Having to re capture every time the software and internet had problems 14

In one district the reviewers worked on their own refuse any engagement and just walked alone and evaluate without asking for help Networking for further sharing of practices after peer review

31. Any Additional Comments We appreciate National for not outsourcing the peer review We were able to learn and share good practices This is a great investment We need to standardize documents 31
