Among our main strengths are:
Scientifically sound competency-based methodologies
Robust tools for education/training programs elaboration, assessment and monitoring

All the above, through an inclusive, people-oriented and contextualized perspective.

Robust tools for education/training programs elaboration, assessment and monitoring.

Mastering curricular and training methodologies allows us to transfer these skills into enhancing of institutional competency-development/evaluation and the monitoing and assessment of training programmes and services.
- Large experience in customized "Train the trainer" modules elaboration to ensure adhesion and ownership of innovations by key stakeholders.
- Monitoring and evaluation devices based in Project Cycle Management logic (such as LogFrame logic), Theory of Change, Result-Oriented management (ORM) and OCDE assessment criteria schema among other scientific references.
15 years experience in Training and evaluating training programmes, education projects (applications and finals results) for institutions such as Erasmus + (French Belgian Agency), VLIR-UOS & “BTSF” training programme from DG Santé (EC).

Technical support and steering of a large scope of capacity building projects.

All the previous skills and technical education/training competences have been enriched by our sociological, psychological and anthropological background allowing us to broaden the scope of intervention to fields such as public health, project management and cooperation and development in general.
- Largely participative techniques based on a social constructivist approach and adult training theories so as to involve beneficiaries and end-users in all stages of the project conception and implementation. We strongly believe in making trainees active actors of their own learning processes.
- Concrete and "hands-on" vision of capacity building projects based on awareness raising, self-reflection and empowerment of beneficiaries through "research-action" tools (within a multidisciplinary perspective).
20 years of experience supporting capacity building programmes for several cooperation agencies, including ENABEL, as well as institutions such as UNESCO and UNICEF.
