AGRODEP has done it again with the far-reaching training programme between 2-6 June, 2014 on “Impact Evaluation and Analysis of Development Interventions III”. I am grateful to Anderson M.L. for patiently taking us through an important aspect in impact evaluation where a lot of researchers often make mistakes by improper identification of the right strategy to use. In fact, he is a teacher who knows his onions. I am equally grateful to other instructors: Tanguy Bernard and Susan Godlonton for engaging us in how to assist ourselves during the training by making us to present either our finished, ongoing paper or proposal, with meaningful contributions from all members of the group. I am grateful to all co-trainees for their useful comments. We are really members of the same family. They ensured that we were not only just trained on how to conduct impact evaluation studies but also on how to write good and acceptable proposals in order to actualize all we were taught. You are not only teachers but mentors. I am grateful to Alimatou Saadiya DIOP for her wonderful logistic arrangement and cares.
