The African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) Regional Capacity Building Project objectives are to contribute to: (i) enhanced capacity for effective policy formulation and management in ACBF sub-grant recipients' countries; and (ii) improved and sustained management of ACBF's operations. There are two components to the project. The first component 'capacity building sub-grants' will finance ACBF sub-grants to public and private beneficiaries in Sub-Saharan African countries and to regional organizations serving these countries. The sub-grants will finance technical assistance subprojects approved under SMTP2 (Strategic Medium Term Plan) to enhance the institutional capacities of these beneficiaries in the following areas: (i) economic policy analysis and development management; (ii) financial management, accountability, and transparency; (iii) national statistics and statistical systems; and (iv) regional economic cooperation and integration and provision of regional public goods. The second component 'institutional development' will consist of: (a) continued implementation of the management action plan, (b) development of a forward looking medium term strategy (SMTP3), including enhancement of the monitoring and evaluation system; and (c) appraisal, supervision, and evaluation of subprojects; and (d) development and implementation of knowledge and learning activities designed to enhance skills and peer learning in economic and public sector management in Africa; all through the provision of goods, services, training, and operating expenses, including staff salaries.
