Consultancy to establish a Knowledge Hub on Capacity Strengthening.
In the last decade or so, capacity strengthening has been of increasing concern to international development partners working in the agricultural and other economic sectors. However, this has not been without challenges (OECD, 2006). The supply-driven approaches adopted by development partners over the years have tended to foreshadow some demand side issues of crucial importance for effective and sustainable capacity development. This has resulted in over supplies in some areas coexisting with deficiencies in others and graduates being unable to find jobs while employers cannot fill vacancies. In addition, effectiveness and impacts of capacity
development interventions have proved to be largely intractable partly due to the abstruse nature of capacity and lack of standardized metrics for tracking the success of such interventions.

 


Objectives

The objectives of the assignment is to consolidate FARA-generated documents and related information on capacity strengthening activities, developing on-line contents from information obtained, design an online platform for hosting and sharing the information upload information onto the online platform, identify sub-regional, regional and global online facilities of a similar nature and link the online facility to similar regional and global online facilities.
