Planning, Implementation and Community Participation". The Executive District
Officers (EDOs), District Education Officers (DE0s), Deputy District Education
Officers (DDEOs) and Heads of the Secondary Schools within 10 sampled
districts of four provinces of Pakistan constituted population for this study. 25

NWFP were drawn as sample. To what extent the project has been successful in
developing the capacity building of district education officers in educational
planning, implementation and community participation was the main research

questionnaires to district education officers trained under the project and themaster trainers of AEPAM, Islamabad and PITEs of the country
Regarding findings it was found that adequate arrangements for training
courses were made at AEPAM and PITEs by providing all necessary facilities
including appropriate sized rooms, proper seating arrangements, Audio Visual
aids and related equipment Master Trainers were found fully trained and well
prepared during the training. A majority of them had employed proper teaching
techniques and helped the trainees in doing practical exercises during the training
sessions. Regular visits were made by the members of stakeholders for monitoring
the activities and shared problems faced by the trainees during the training.
