Capacity Development
We help organisations build capacity that lasts
We help organisations build capacities on the individual, institutional and societal levels We strengthen institutions by designing and delivering role-based capacity development programmes to address their capacity gaps.
From capacity needs assessments and development strategies to programme setup, learning materials, and tailored training delivery, we expand on the definition of capacity development to include various formats and ensure applicability and practise components to link skills directly to on-going projects. We measure impact through pre/post implementation evaluation and feedback.
Capacity Development Programmes
Comprehensive capacity development programmes covering needs assessment, strategy design, programme setup, tailored learning materials, training delivery, and impact evaluation
Capacity Needs Assessment
Identify competency gaps by role through interviews, surveys, and task analysis; define a competency framework and prioritised learning outcomes with a practical roadmap

Plan linking objectives to modules, modalities (workshops, on-the-job, training), sequencing, resources, governance, and KPIs to measure uptake
Programme Setup (ToRs, Procurement & Mobilisation)
Draft ToRs and scopes, prepare procurement and evaluation packs, set up mobilisation plans with RACI and timelines, and design vendor scorecards
Learning Materials & Toolkits
