Strategies for capacity building
• Step-1: Identify target group
• Step-2: Assessing Training needs
• Step-3: Prepare capacity building plan
• Step-4: Design training package
• Step-5: implement training program
• Step-6: Sustain the capacity

Priority: In designing training program for public sector

people we have given more priority on financial,
commercial, legal and negotiations skills rather than
technical skills.
