Process-Oriented and Measurable Clause Samples

Process-Oriented and Measurable. Capacity building is an ongoing process that is never really completed. However, milestones of impact can be identified and reached and concrete results can be achieved and documented. As described in Section I F. Program Approach (CC LLR) GHANAQ will focus heavily on identifying, linking to and establishing a variety of networks. One of the major purposes of networking and working towards partnership for the program will be to optimize and effectively apply as many resources for knowledge and skills transfer and behavior change as possible.

Education/training methodologies should be action-oriented, focused on the practical application of knowledge and skills, and will include, but not be limited to, the following menu of choices: ▪ On the job training ▪ Mentoring ▪ Site visits and study tours ▪ Supportive supervision ▪ One-on-one technical assistance ▪ Facilitation of sharing between partners in the network ▪ Mentoring ▪ Joint processes of planning ▪ Orientation and sensitization ▪ Workshops and training courses The specific nature of the methodology or combination of methodologies chosen will be informed by the assessment of needs and resources available and in consultation with the recipients.
