[...] The very fact that some of the activities, outputs and outcomes of the intervention had to be adapted to the reality and needs of beneficiary countries, and that some of these activities, outputs and outcomes had to be modified, not only to attend those needs, but also to be able to achieve the overall goal of the project through different means (as in SO3), is sufficient proof that, even if these. [...] The most mentioned factors hindering a timely delivery of products and results were the COVID-19 pandemic12, the difficulties faced in finding POs for each country or region at the beginning of the implementation, the need to adapt the implementation to the realities, needs and socio-political contexts of each country, and changes of government, authorities, government directions at national and l. [...] All other respondents (partners/beneficiaries/donor) emphasized the quality and the appropriateness of the materials and products, and the compromise and excellent technical capacities of all the POs.
