government with a strong commitment to the principles of participation,

Capacity Building and Institutional Strengthening

to access practitioners with local government expertise. These
capabilities have been utilised in numerous development aid and
privately funded projects around the world. Sustainable and effective
capacity building is achieved through organisational development programs
