Indian Journal of Training and DevelopmentSummary: Evaluation of capacity building programs, which are essential for human resource development and consequent impact analysis, has gained considerable importance nowadays, especially in developing countries. This paper suggests a methodology that has been used to evaluate a UNDP supported program of training of trainers (TOT) in India based mainly on qualitative responses of the stakeholders. A multi-dimensional approach to the evaluation, based on Sen's (1987) capability functioning framework, is suggested. The suggested evaluation reveals the strength and weakness of the program in separate dimensions, through the characteristics of the specific functionings. The method developed is quite general to be applicable in a wider context of human development and manpower training, especially where quantitative responses and comparison groups are unavailable. The statistical properties of the functionings, simple enough to be incorporated elsewhere, are also derived so that reliability of the findings can be estimated. - Reproduced.
