DSDE’s Institutional
Capacity Building Strategy
• Main Components of Horizontal Cooperation
– Critical transfer of knowledge, skills and lessons
learned
• There is no simple replication of a model
• Facilitate a comparative approach
• Ensure mutual learning
– Mixture of educational approaches, traditional and
virtual
– Permanent connectivity
– Network management

– Administrative
– Cultural/Linguistic
– Family Dynamics
– Service Delivery

• Migration
