The Action Training Model (ATM) was developed for the delivery of evaluation training to development workers in Kenya and Botswana and implemented under the aegis of the German Foundation for International Development. Training of evaluators is a challenge in any context, but in the Third World environment, evaluation training offers special problems. Typically, evaluation training comes to these countries through outsiders, and quite often within the framework of technical assistance. The development of ATM was based on previous trial workshops conducted in Kenya and Tanzania. The training typically consists of an intense schedule of four two-week workshops. A great deal of trainee participation is encouraged. Current experience with ATM indicates that it shows promise in a technical assistance situation, as well as for use within a Third World country.
