d.4. Evaluation of skill and knowledge areas<br />

Data was collected from 225 block to national level personnel of DAE on the extent of their<br />

skill and knowledge in CCA. Twenty five respondents did not respond on this issue and the,<br />

results of 200 respondents are presented in Fig. 18. Findings revealed that more than half of<br />

the respondents had average skill (59%) and knowledge (57%) on CCA and one‐third of them<br />

had poor skill (29.5%) and knowledge (34%) levels. Only <strong>11</strong>.5% and 9% had good skill and<br />

knowledge respectively on CCA. It is notable that nobody claimed bad or very good skill and<br />

knowledge on CCA. These results could be overemphasized and the results could be<br />

different if these ratings are obtained from their supervisors or by conducting skill and<br />

knowledge test, the result might be more unsatisfactory.<br />
