Monitoring the negotiation process --- Good question, Sepideh. I've often found it good to make sure that partners know that the process will be monitored and evaluated, and to refer back to this while negotiation proceeds (for example by identifying key points as they arise). This would make it relatively easy to identify lessons learned and action taken. It would also help identify the people who might be part of the evaluation team when the time comes for this to be undertaken (which would usually be well before the negotiation AND implementation is concluded).
