Integrated Capacity Development Training on ADB Funded Projects in Islamabad, Pakistan

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) Pakistan Resident Mission’s (PRM) Capacity Development Resource Center (CDRC) successfully conducted a two-day training in Islamabad. The training was organized to support the Federal government's and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's Executing and Implementing Agencies  in strengthening their capacity and equipping them with the necessary skills to implement projects and enhance development objectives effectively.   

The interactive learning forum explored the following themes in depth: ADB Project Cycle, ADB Due Diligence and Social Safeguards, Procurement, Financial Management and Disbursements, and Integrity and Accountability. The project cycle and anticorruption sessions were held in plenary , while the three parallel breakout sessions were dedicated to Procurement, Safeguards, and Financial Management.  

The training program followed a hybrid approach. All participants gathered in the training venue, and most of the sessions were delivered in person by PRM experts. Some experts flew from ADB HQ, while some sessions were delivered online by subject matter specialists from ADB HQ, which added significant value to the overall event.
