Support: • Assisting in streamlining/systematizing HICD plans and priorities, with focus on inter-disciplinary approach; • Enhancing competencies/skills(of leaders, staff and volunteers) through on-job training; • Mobilizing resources for training support (Leadership Development, Theological Education, Diakonia/Development Capacity Enhancement, and Empowerment of People with Disabilities); • Encouraging institutional and trans-contextual learning.
