Our advisory services cover Capacity building, Analytical work, and Development assistance mechanisms. -
Capacity Building
Capacity building is much more than training. In assisting our clients to build capacity our associates always have in mind the following:
- Human resource development: the process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enables them to perform better.
- Organisational development: the elaboration of management structures, processes and procedures, not only within organisations but also the management of relationships between the different organisations and sectors.
- Institutional and legal framework development: making legal and regulatory changes to enable organisations, institutions and agencies at all levels and in all sectors to enhance their capacities.
Analytical work
We cover a whole range of research, evaluations, reviews and appraisals in the sectors of our expertise. Our associates have experience in conducting training needs analysis, identification and feasibility studies, as well as designing project interventions and budget support programmes for donor institutions and recipient governments.
Our associates are experienced in the principle methodological tools used in development assistance. One such characteristic tool is the Project Cycle Management and Logical Framework approach. Our associates involved in Public Financial Management are versed in the Public Expenditure Financial and Accountability (PEFA) framework and performance measurement mechanisms.
Development assistance mechanisms
We have extensive experience with rules and administrative processes of the majority of the European Commission development assistance programmes. Through our network of associates we have acquired substantial experience in the procedures of many other donors and international organisations such as the World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF and the African Development Bank.
