[Ftx-trainers] query on evaluation trackers

[Maria Eugenia Chavez Fonseca]

For me evaluation has to focus on hoe our praxis and knowledge are 
helping participants to improve skill on using ICT for social impact, it 
will not be an examination of learning, this can help to do it in a way 
that participants will not feel observed. As Cheekay said. it will be 
fine if the trainers team clarify trackers role during sessions.

Regards,
Maru
