The Facilitator Software

• Not all study sites did use the Facilitator Software during their stakeholder workshop. The Botswana team explicitly stated having had technical problems using it, in Chile and Morocco it was not used due to time constraints as the workshop was conducted in 1 day. The Moroccan team however, did use the software in an internal team workshop which was conducted as a preparation to the stakeholder workshop.
• The Spanish team reports that participants had difficulties understanding what the Facilitator software was doing and therefore mistrust it and suspected it to do things behind their backs. However, this could be resolved by explaining and clarifying again.
• The Cape Verdean team considers the use of Facilitator useful to reach consensus.
• The Turkish team found the Facilitator useful to a) explain evaluations to stakeholders, and b) to make people think in a structured way.
