description:

Capacity Building of Counterparts Capacity building of counterparts increases their commitment to project and ownership of project results. It also encourages the counterparts, including tripartite constituents, implementing partners and social partners to engage in project activities. The more the capacity of counterparts is built, the more they will be engaged in project activities.

context:

Counterparts include governmental institutions, tripartite constituents and implementing partners. MSD and M4P being new approaches in Afghanistan require extensive capacity building, it require high political will and understanding of how market systems work. ILO has extensively built the capacity of all counterparts and imparted project related knowledge to ensure increased participation and commitment of counterparts in the project.

success:

Interest of counterparts in the project and full engagement by ILO were effective in increased participation of counterparts in capacity building interventions.

challenges:

Building the capacity of counterparts was time taking due to the approach of project implementation being unique. Sending staff members of constituents for International trainings is burdensome when they don’t speak English.

administrative_issues:

NA

comments:

Beneficiaries have been affected by increased capacity of counterparts; it has increased the effectiveness and efficiency of interventions. Project beneficiaries have benefited from improved services and interventions as a result of increased capacity of counterparts.
