 The evaluator assessed the project in terms of operational conditions of the mass-spectrometry system and perimeter protection system provided under the project, coordination and synergy with other Donors’ activities, and maintenance plan and conditions. The findings of the evaluator were compiled into a report and presented to the Japan-Ukraine Committee with recommendations and lessons learnt for the future activities.
