Institution and Capacity Building

Efficiency, competitiveness and cost-effectiveness of transport systems are highly dependent on the adequacy and functioning of transport sector institutions and on the human resources working in the sector.

TCP International understands institutional and organizational development as the elaboration of management structures, processes and procedures, not only within organisations but also the management of relationships between different organisations and (sub-) sectors. We understand capacity and human resource development as the process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enables them to perform effectively and empowers them to contribute to their entities’ vision and mission.

Both concerns often need to be accompanied by institutional and legal framework development measures, introducing legal and regulatory changes to enable organizations, institutions and agencies at all levels and in all transport sub-sectors to adapt to new challenges. It is essential to match responsibilities, tasks and resources on every level in the entire institutional set-up as well as within the institutions and companies.
