Capacity Development Lab
The first CDL call was opened in October 2020. We received many interesting applications and, after a rigorous selection process, the following actions were selected. Post-selection we entered into the pre-implementation phase during which we work together with the beneficiary and partners to finetune the action. It is a collaborative process that takes a little time, but leads to actions that we are all excited to see the results of.
