Catholic Relief Services (CRS) started an eight-year project in 2012 to boost the ability of its staff to strengthen the capacity of its implementing partners. With funding from the GHR foundation, the Strength in Solidarity (SiS) project was designed to transform the systems, processes and skills used by CRS to help its implementing partners become more effective, stronger and more sustainable. The final evaluation of the project was carried out through a survey and led by two external consultants.

This brief summarizes the statistical analysis carried out by the evaluators in relation to the changes in Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes (KSAs) of the staff who participated in the project, as well as their use of the tools and resources created by the project.
