The workshop which runs from July6-8 2009 at the Thinker Village, outside Monrovia, is part of the support provided by the MRU by the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) to strengthen the capacity of the four countries civil services.

This is achieved by establishing mechanisms to bring people together and building consensus, forging stronger partnership, reducing wasteful competition and emphasizing the achievement of concrete results in keeping with the Comprehensive Development Frame work (CDF), promoted by the World Bank.

Topics to be covered include organization performance, organization capacity. Identifying capacity gaps, Test Team, Remedial Action Plans, among others.
