From the abstract:
Impact has mainly been positive, though to this date this shows more clearly in individual rahter than institutional capacity development. While the programme and the individual networks are generally well managed and organised, there is room for improvement in monitoring and evaluation of impact through using a log frame analysis at the network planning stage. This will also support results-based rather than activity-based reporting. Network objectives should focus more on the needs of both the Northern and Southern partners. The N-S-S Programme is a valuable asset to Finnish development cooperation as well as to the recipient higher education systems in the South and it is worth continuing.
