Capacity Building for Local Governments. Fellows’ direct service hours should be spent building capacity for local government beneficiaries to address their relative needs with regard to specific issues (e.g. climate, water, housing etc.). Fellows will address these needs by assisting one or more local government beneficiary to develop or implement projects that they would otherwise not be able to complete. Capacity building for Fellows will be delivered in 3 stages, including: 1) gap assessments; 2) research, planning, and implementation service projects; and transition of knowledge.
