Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop / Aid projects
French term or phrase: instances d'évaluation
two-part question (divided into two separate questions.... this is the second!) - report on partnerships between research bodies and farmers' organizations. I am struggling with the exact meaning of *instance* in the two 'instances' below
"Au niveau des partenariats institutionnels, soit la participation à la gouvernance des institutions, la participation à des *instances techniques* et la participation à des *instances d’évaluation*, il est essentiel que les producteurs y interviennent avec les grands défis de l’agriculture ..". Is it clear that the 'instances d'évaluation'' are bodies/committees evaluating (presumably the outcome of research activities)? And how best to translate the term? ).... or could 'instance' be intended in some other meaning? Any help much appreciated!

Asker: Thanks again for your help, Ségolène. This time I went for 'evaluation' rather than assessment, as it fitted better with my cooperation/NGO context
