MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN - TBC India

11. CAPACITY BUILDING
Findings from the SR assessments recognize the high need for capacity strengthening on various critical
prerequisites for sustaining and reporting quality progress. And therefore, our capacity development
initiatives are not isolated training interventions, but rather a strategically co-ordinated set of activities
aimed for effective M&E and increasing overall program performance and management. The process of
identifying specific needs was jointly done by SRs with WV India playing a supportive role. The complete
capacity building plan is designed towards strengthening the performance capabilities of SRs involving a
broad based and participatory approach. This will increase awareness and understanding of the capacity-
development initiative and improve its chances of acceptance and success among our SR partners. The
capacity building plan developed is fully comprehensive, so that the WV India and SRs can simultaneously
benefit from the capacity-development initiatives in a strategic manner. Following 10 Capacity Building
