Advisory around Capacity Development (CapDev)
We also deliver consultancy services to support organizations’ capacity development (CapDev) needs around rice-based agri-food systems. Using a systems approach, we co-create needs assessments, strategic plans, framework maps, appropriate CapDev interventions, and robust implementation, monitoring, and evaluation plans to address our stakeholders’ needs.
This initiative will facilitate tailor-fit interventions, helping to reach more beneficiaries, and creating a better impact. We aim to position ourselves to influence capacity development strategies around rice-based agri-food system capacity building interventions in countries around the globe.
Let’s collaborate on your next capacity development program. Inquire here.
