By January 2013, the intended outcome of the Public Service Capacity Building project (PSCB) is to have contributed to strengthening the leadership competencies and capacity of 1,700 senior level, reform-minded, civil servants. This will translate into more effective leadership for the development and delivery of government policy.
Some specific outcomes expected of the project include:
the development of human resource policies, systems and procedures to enable effective deployment of staff in the civil service;
the training of 1700 senior managers and other senior public sector managers.
PSCB is implemented by the company Capita Helm, in consortium with the British Council, in support of Bangladesh's Ministry of Public Administration.
