MDF Eastern & Southern Africa (ESA)

Our Approach

Capacity development sounds simple and straightforward. However, when it comes to human and organisational development, it is all about people, how they learn, and apply their competencies during work. The work situation is therefore at the heart of our courses and consultancies. People are encouraged to exchange experiences and explore the opportunities they have, within their individual setting. Both our open entry and tailor-made courses are characterised by an open and personal atmosphere and the commitment of our trainers and support staff.

We keep our trainings up-to-date with reality in the field, through the consultancy assignments our staff carry out every year. MDF-ESA works in strategic planning, project identification, project formulation, the design of monitoring systems and evaluation assignments. Moreover, we advise a growing number of organisations on human resources development, institutional development and organisational strengthening. Our consultancy assignments are characterised by a personal and down-to-earth approach, which ensures the applicability of our advice.
