Does the Programme support any institutional capacity building of the stakeholders?
Ans. While implementing the proposed activities at the site level, the Programme envisages to build the capacity of key stakeholders to effectively manage and conserve the natural resources in the ecoregion. Thus, in order to assess the overall organizational capacity and ascertain the specific training needs of the individuals working in the key stakeholder organizations at macro, meso and micro levels, the Programme has been conducting Training Needs Assessment (TNA) exercises. In this connection, a proper mechanism and templates to assess the capacity-building needs of the organizations has already been developed and as result, few training activities for some identified partners have already been carried out while a lot more is in the pipeline.
