4. Execution Strategy

5. Workshop Methodology

• Trainings should be very participatory with group work and much exchange among partners. All inputs by the consultant should be contextualized by the participants with discussions, group work or reflections on their specific projects. It should be honored that all partners already conduct monitoring and that there is a lot of experience and knowledge which they can share. Hence there should be also some brief presentations by the partners, highlighting some aspects of practice.
• For developing the training program, KNH will share its definition of terminologies, templates for project proposals and reports, and a general framework for impact orientation trainings as an orientation.
• Trainings and materials will be provided in Thai to ensure good understanding and contextualization into the actual projects of the partner organizations.
• Partners will work on their own projects and improve aspects of them in the course of process. If they want to change objectives, quantities of targets or add new interventions they will have to negotiate with KNH after the training.
• At the end of each workshop, partners should draft the action plans for each project to use the insights from the workshop and improve the quality of identified issues. This includes sharing of the workshop insights within the organization. After the workshop, these plans should be finalized with the respective partner staff and shared with the consultant and KNH.
• After each workshop, there will be an application phase in which the partners implement their action plans. The consultant will accompany and backstop the partners during this time. The methodology and consultancy time involved will depend on the volume of work to be done by the partners and the challenges which they face. Possible methods are written feedback followed by Online meeting, Regular phone calls, In-person meetings and visits. The method might differ from organization to organization. Usually this varies from 1 to 3 days per partner.
• Confidentiality of provided information, documents and tools of partners and KNH is a requirement for the success of the Capacity Development process.
• Chapter 1 and 2 of the KNH Guide for Capacity Development on Outcome and Impact Orientation should be considered in the course of the process.
