Capacity Building

Capacity building involves training and teaching not only children, youth and parents, but also CLMPU staff and other NPO staff members. We facilitate capacity building programmes, aimed at developing and strengthening the skills, abilities and resources of our youth, their families and the communities they form part of. Internal training of staff takes place during supervision and as needs arise.
