Sri Lanka: Capacity Development Programme

Through its work in Sri Lanka, BRAC realised the need to strengthen the capacity of local NGOs for undertaking and implementing needs-based development activities. We therefore started a capacity development programme using a two-tiered approach to build capacity – providing needs-based training to partner NGO staff and handing over BRAC working areas with existing activities and resources to them.

Programme sub-components:

• Training and exposure programme for BRAC staff in Sri Lanka and staff of partner NGOs
• Partnership programme with local and national NGOs in Sri Lanka
• Master Trainer development

Main recipient groups:

• Sri Lankan staff employed by BRAC (Trainers, Area Mangers, Branch Managers, Credit Officers and Accountants)
• BRAC clients
• Partner NGO staff
