Capacity building

 

Through training and sparring, we aim to provide capacities for collaboration between multiple actors and for planning and carrying out processes aimed at integrating different goals. We support our customers in implementing these tools and help them identify what is needed in each situation. In our trainings, we review more deeply the basic principles, processes and personal skills of collaboration.
