Capacity Building & Training

Build durable capabilities through tailored training, practical tools, and hands-on technical assistance.

Overview

A concise summary detailing what this solution is, why it matters, and who it is designed to help.

We help organizations strengthen their internal capacity to apply evidence-based nutrition in practice—so progress continues after a project ends. We design training and technical assistance that fit real workflows, roles, and constraints, supporting teams across public health, clinical care, research, and responsible industry settings. Our approach is practical, skills-based, and grounded in transparent methods and reusable tools.

Deliverables

A list of tangible outputs and concrete products clients receive upon completion of the engagement.

  • Training Needs Assessment & Learning Plan — We define audiences, baseline needs, learning objectives, formats, and success metrics.
  • Curricula & Training Materials — We create slide decks, facilitator guides, exercises, templates, and reference materials tailored to the topic and audience.
  • Workshops & Applied Training Sessions — We deliver live or hybrid sessions with hands-on practice using real examples and datasets where relevant.
  • Technical Assistance & Office Hours — We provide structured coaching, troubleshooting, and feedback cycles to support adoption over time.
  • Toolkits & SOPs for Handover — We deliver reusable SOPs, workflows, checklists, and documentation that teams can sustain internally.

Methods

The specific scientific approaches, analytical techniques, and standards used to execute the work.

  • Competency-based Design — We define practical skills and competencies, not just knowledge transfer.
  • Adult learning and applied practice — We emphasize real tasks, exercises, and immediate application in the participant’s context.
  • Role-specific Training — We tailor content for different roles (e.g., analysts, program leads, clinicians, communications teams).
  • Workflow Integration — We align training with existing processes, systems, and governance requirements to reduce friction.
  • Reinforcement & Follow-up — We use staged learning, office hours, and feedback loops to support sustained adoption.
  • Partner-integrated Delivery — We coordinate with internal leads and teams to embed training within ongoing initiatives and constraints.

Metrics we track

The key performance indicators and measurable outcomes used to evaluate success and demonstrate impact.

  • Participation & Completion — We track attendance, completion, and engagement across sessions.
  • Skill Acquisition — We assess confidence and competence through exercises, practical outputs, or pre/post checks where appropriate.
  • Adoption in Practice — We track whether tools, SOPs, and workflows are used correctly in real work settings.
  • Quality & Consistency of Outputs — We monitor improvements in documentation, reproducibility, and decision-ready deliverables over time.
  • Satisfaction & Relevance — We capture participant feedback, clarity, and perceived usefulness.
  • Sustainability — We assess whether teams can maintain processes independently after training and technical assistance.
