The methodology was based on the Beneficiary's Participatory Assessment, and Popular Education, as a concept that values local experiences and the exchange between popular knowledge and scientific knowledge. The work shows the principles that guided the evaluation, the methodological process developed the factors of success and the lessons learned so that this evaluation experience can be multiplied. From a methodological point of view, the training of municipal evaluation teams made up of producers who acted as real researchers proved to be innovative.
