Institutional Capacity Development. The Volunteer Consultant program is being used in all countries where TNS operates, now without Matching Grant funding, and TNS has a full-time activity coordinator. Country programs are incorporating the use of volunteers into their funding proposals, not simply to complement the staffing of a project but to increase TNS cost effectiveness.. Volunteer scopes of work are now expected to more systematically dedicate a portion of the volunteer’s time towards staff training based on specific program staff needs. For instance in Kenya, vol cons helped create and implement a SME client portfolio review system. This not only provided standardized tools for analyzing client performance, it helped catalyze a cultural change, promoting team work, documenting and sharing lessons learned, and collective problem solving across SME sectors. Having amassed a xxxxxxxx xxxx of volunteer experiences and to assist with the program’s ongoing funding needs, TNS may consider conducting a more in-depth analysis of the impact of volunteer assistance on client performance. This would dovetail well with TNS’s plans to implement a client satisfaction survey and the organization’s broader efforts to maintain and systematize high-quality service delivery amidst an ambitious growth strategy. Business Plan Competitions are being held in most TNS-presence countries. The earlier competitions carried out in El Salvador and Nicaragua have served as learning platforms for subsequent competitions in Africa, which now incorporate an after-care program for finalists, who receive vouchers to access services to strengthen their businesses from accredited local BDS providers. Other aspects have evolved as well, such as focusing the competition on certain industry sectors or target groups in order to attract more ideas with potential rural, women, youth or other demographic impact. The ability to quickly respond to donor interest and launch competitions in new countries has been facilitated by the codification of the BPC curriculum and best practice.. The BPC has proven a creative tool for SME pipeline development. The result has been a growing interest by public and private donors. This has created a new opportunity for TNS, to complement its value chain work, and to create great overall impact. In Guatemala, TNS has identified two clients through the BPC and successfully raised private funding to assist them. The growing BPC portfolio has also led TNS to establish an internal Entrepreneurship Pr...
Institutional Capacity Development. To summarize those recommendations mentioned earlier, TNS should consider the following. • Continue the diversification of sponsors and resource partners. Partnerships with foundations such as Google and Cargill should be maintained and strengthened. • Continue to integrate activities like CS, BPC, and volcons directly into new and ongoing country programs. • Conceptualize, vet, and design new activities with both headquarters and field staff as active partners. • Build into new activity designs sufficient flexibility that allows modification and adaptation for specific characteristics of target countries and regions. • Provide sufficient incentives (salary, benefits, and promotion prospects) to attract and retain the best possible staff who can partner effectively with volcons. • Set targets that best measure meaningful results (not inputs) and adjust them over time to reflect actual performance. • Keep USAID/W, country bilateral Missions, and other sponsors informed about TNS’s entire portfolio and performance.
Institutional Capacity Development. A three-pronged approach is being adopted for interventions under this component, which will assist GoR and the Investment Program ULBs in furthering the reforms, already being initiated by GoR; such as (i) computerization, tax assessments and infrastructure mapping through a Geographic Information System; (ii) facilitating transition of ULB accounting functions to a double-entry accounting system through computerization of accounting and financial management functions – in line with GoR’s ongoing SUARAJ program; and (iii) providing training to Investment Program ULBs and State line department staff on Investment Program implementation, better management of urban services, and urban governance through identified training institutions like the Rajasthan Institute of Local Self Government (RILSG). This component under the Investment Program aims to institutionalize a system to facilitate the transition of urban service management responsibilities to the ULBs and to address the ability of the Local Self-Government Department (LSGD) to oversee this service delivery by the ULBs and to ensure that ULBs plan, provide and sustain service provision.

Institutional Capacity Development. Partners were successful in building bridges between the university and the public, private, and NGO sectors. This occurred through project activities where participants from the government, private sector and NGOs worked alongside university researchers to explore potential solutions to development problems in AgESS areas. The outcome of the final stakeholder workshop was to produce a report with recommendations for university administrators to act upon to maintain the linkages between the public and private sectors that developed through this project. The Report (Appendix F) illuminated the need for continuous collaboration between Malawian institutions and stakeholders to increase the productivity of the Malawian workforce. Key findings included the need for practical and applicable research, on-the-job training through internships and guest lecture series, creative funding schemes for skills-building and action research, and a higher education policy that links the needs of the institutions and stakeholders.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
