Project has so far benefited from the existing knowledge base, good practices and lessons learnt on law enforcement capacity building training within the EU and the UN, taking into consideration, among others, the materials and doctrine developed within CEPOL, ESDC, the ENTRi and EUPST projects. LET4CAP is organized in four main components:

  • Stocktaking of existing good practices and lessons
  • Development of the training course curriculum
  • Piloting Training implementation
  • Other dissemination & outreach activities.

CEP has so far created an evaluation plan, tailored to the goals and context of this project, provided guidelines for the evaluation of cooperation, project products, efficacy and impact on target groups, end beneficiaries and stakeholders, and defined quality criteria for the success of the project. CEP has also been present at three trainings carried out so far, as an evaluation expert, providing feedback on the content and execution of the trainings.

Partners have through a very successful meeting evaluated the work and achievements done so far, as well as planned future activities and things to be done by the end of the project.
