Capacity Building And Coaching

In the wake of the growing recognition of the importance of bringing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 to the local level, the capacity building of local actors has been recognized as a critical component of the localization agenda.

Therefore, local role players must act as the drivers of sustainable development, fostering and facilitating increased community engagement and accountability in the design management and delivering effective people-centered response programs to meet the “ leaving no one behind” principle.

Thus, it is paramount for local organizations to strengthen a robust governance foundation to carry out their mission.

What we offer

Plug-in.Mz work emphasizes the need for a clear vision of the purposes (capacity to what end: policy-making, financial compliance, service delivery, MEL, advocacy, etc.) and effective modalities for capacity development. Our lens focused on a participatory, locally-centered, and gender-sensitive approach.

Our team is well-resourced in identifying drivers of transformational change, organizational governance, and functional analysis. We start the process by asking leadership to complete a good governance self-assessment. Afterward, we collaboratively develop systems, policies, and procedures. By the end of this engagement, your organization will have a robust governance structure, more vital risk management, and overall accountability for a sustainable future.

Our expertise includes the following:

Partner capacity-building assessments
Resource mapping/fundraising/resource mobilization
Stakeholder analysis and mapping
Development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) – compliant with various grant and funding requirements
Financial management and risk management- including support with financial systems and policies.

While these are broad areas for support and represent a good starting point for local organizations seeking to strengthen their capacity, Plug-in.Mz goes far beyond providing a generic plan for all local partners; building upon its extensive knowledge of the country context; Plug.in.Mz recognizes the massive diversity of local organizations in Mozambique (type, level of maturity, and technical abilities), and therefore it provides capacity-building coaching and training grounded and tailored to each organization’s needs and requests.
