Community COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CAPACITY BUILDING Policy Advisory Capacity Building Partnership Economic Development GovErnmEnt Engagement mobilization Awareness risk mitigation & Capacity Building PrivAtE SECtor opportunity training Assistance IRD’s Community Outreach and Capacity Building model comprises an integrated set of activities designed to improve government buy-in and community acceptance, reduce risk, and increase local capacity to deliver high-quality projects — and maintain them after they are completed. While the approach is tailored to each project, the overarching goal is to support clients to manage their infrastructure needs independently for the long term.
The COCB Model Rebuilding infrastructure in nations emerging from conflict or natural disaster requires capacities beyond those required by typical construction projects. Since 1998, IRD has worked with thousands of communities, contractors, and government bodies to design and manage infrastructure development projects on both small- and very large-scale. Key to our success working in unstable, kinetic, and other difficult environments is use of the service model we developed called community outreach and capacity building (COCB). The COCB approach ensures successful project delivery by addressing the capacity needs of three core players in the infrastructure sector: the government and public sector, the private sector, and beneficiary communities. IRD has learned that improvement in one sector without gains in the others does not generally lead to long-term growth and improved overall capacity. Use of the COCB model improves government buy-in and community acceptance, reduces risk, and increases local capacity to deliver high-quality projects – and maintain them after they are completed. While the approach is tailored to each project, the overarching goal is to support our clients to manage their infrastructure needs independently for the long term. This capacity must be developed among all three stakeholders. IRD has learned that improvement in one sector without gains in the others does not generally lead to long-term growth and improved overall capacity.
