Sharing Experiences
Capacity building is important but linking
it to organization development is a must (to
apply a holistic approach).Leadership commitment is key element
for success.Concrete training needs assessment as a
perquisite for a sound and effective
training.
Sharing Experiences
Training should be accompanied with
change management, and learning by
doing.
Training methodologies are as important
as the content (The How/ The What).
Measuring the training impact & follow up
is essential for achieving sustainable
success.
Sharing ExperiencesCont.
Networking either within the organization or
with peer organizations maximizes the
strength of capacity building initiatives.
Ensuring the sustainability of the project is
a challenge that needs to be addressed from
the beginning.
