description:

The lesson learnt by the evaluation does not question the validity of the CB TREE methodology per se, rather it questions whether a community based training approach for economic empowerment is more suited to post conflict situations where the transition from humanitarian to development assistance has been completed. Post conflict situations where community structures have been re-established and the priority needs of project beneficiaries for immediate household income are already met. The lesson learnt by the evaluation suggests CB TREE is more appropriate later in the recovery process, following the end of the Sri Lankan conflict: once national, district and divisional value chains have been linked. At which point, MSE developed through CB TREE can link to divisional, district and national markets.
