Our teams aim to include intended beneficiaries in all aspects of our support for planning and implementation of projects and programmes. Beneficiaries are targeted directly through our support for institutional capacity building, training, networking and other interventions. Our management approach reinforces this. Local involvement in management helps to ensure interventions are appropriate and effective while benefiting individuals by building on their experience and skills.

Our services benefit people and organisations from all sections of society. For example the Heath Sector Reform Programme, Egypt  works at central and local government levels and with individual hospitals. A project might focus on one group of people, while working with others who interact with that group, as with the Partnership against Harassment of Girls, South Africa.

Individual beneficiaries may include:

			ministers, civil servants, academics, members of the legal profession and other public sector staff
			young people from the public and private sectors and their employers
			staff of non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
			members of community-based organisations and the communities where they operate, including marginalised and disadvantaged people
			schoolchildren, their teachers and parents.

We in Contracts & Projects also benefit from our work on projects and programmes through mutual learning with individuals and organisations.
