Context
Through its “Forward” initiative, USAID wants to use local stakeholder capacity building as an essential
tool to achieve more effective and sustainable development results. Being one of the first of this type of
projects, Konbit will establish a “capacity building platform” to coordinate local capacity development
service provision, create a network of development innovations, and manage the monitoring, evaluation
and learning activities. Konbit’s objective is to increase the number of local development partners who
influence and achieve significant sustainable development results in Haiti, are accountable to their
constituents and are able to compete for and manage resources.
Implementation
Konbit is managed by Papyrus S.A. and its local partner Ayiti Nexus. The project is supported by two
international partners: Steve Kroll and Associates and Tetra Tech, and will work with partnering service
providers to:
- Build the competencies of local capacity development service providers and develop the
competencies of institutions;
- Mobilize networking events to foster collaboration and sharing of good practices, innovations and
industry standards in the capacity development and technical sectors.
- Measure the project’s progress and results, use its monitoring and evaluation process and results to
create learning opportunities for program participants, and use its interactive platform to share
lessons learned.
Papyrus will work with USAID to expand upon its mapping process to inventory the broader category of
local development organizations, and more specifically to identify both experienced and prospective
organizational capacity development service providers, including those that are either headed by
women or work specifically on gender issues.
