Capacity Development
Capacity development for sustainable performance
Strengthening individual, organisational and institutional capacities to support long-term change
What we do
Strengthening capacities at individual, organisational and institutional levels
We support organisations in strengthening their capacities at individual, organisational and institutional levels. Our capacity development approach goes beyond training, combining technical assistance, learning and change management to support sustainable performance and ownership.
- Public institutions, national agencies and international organisations
- National statistical systems, administrations and sectoral institutions
- Development, humanitarian and regional cooperation programmes
- Organisations seeking sustainable capacity strengthening aligned with strategic and operational objectives
Challenges we address
Translating knowledge into sustained practice and organisational change
Many organisations invest in training, yet struggle to translate knowledge into sustained practice and organisational change.
- Fragmented and short-term training approachesOne-off trainings not embedded in organisational processes or longer-term objectives.
- Limited institutional ownershipWeak integration of new skills into daily practices, systems and decision-making.
- Misalignment between technical skills and organisational needsTraining content not sufficiently adapted to context, maturity and capacities.
- Insufficient change managementLimited attention to behavioural, organisational and cultural dimensions of capacity development.
- Difficulty sustaining results over timeLack of follow-up, coaching and mechanisms to anchor learning beyond project cycles.
