An Overview :
CBI is a leading
consultancy firm specialized in the fields of legal, institutional, organizational
and human resources development for enhanced management. This theme
enables CBI to work with various sectors, be it industry, environment,
housing, women development, tourism, education, etc. The firm implements
projects that require direct field engagement with clients and partners
from various tiers of the government, NGOs, CDAs, private sector and
other elements of the civil society. We develop and deliver case-specific
packages of capacity building and institutional reform that ensure sustainability
of impacts and solutions. The focus of CBI's work is on the details of
implementation. This makes us concerned about root causes of problems, as
opposed to symptoms. We work in partnership with our clients to unveil
such causes and develop scenarios of change, taking into considerations
various limitations and criteria that are intrinsic to the client. CBI's
methodology stresses attention to specificities of situations and
conditions governing our clients. Our in-depth approach makes us especially
well suited to projects that require attention to a range of interrelated
technological, fiscal and organizational issues in a particular case.
The CBI approach
enables diversity in our client base. We work on strategic, policy and
operational levels with a diverse group of clients. CBI expertise has
also been called upon to evaluate a number of large projects funded by
international donors and external support agencies such as the UNDP, the
Government of Italy, and UN-Habitat among others. Our senior experts
enjoy wide networks of contacts in international organizations, national
and local governments and the private sector. We are actively working in
partnership with elements of the civil society and NGOs to develop
initiatives and mobilize resources for capacity building programs.
CBI core staff brings
to bear hands-on experience in local governance, and support to small and
medium enterprises (SMEs). Participatory approaches and institutional
development are cross cutting themes in our work. We have a group of
world class professionals in , and shared experience from the and . We

CBI Values :
·
Capacity building is based on three pillars: human
resources development, organizational development and institutional
development. For capacity building to be effective and sustainable, the
three pillars should be integrated.
·
Technical solutions based on technological approaches
should be complemented with organizational changes and training to be
effective and sustainable.
·
For policies to be implemented, effective and robust legal
and institutional mechanisms are needed
·
Solutions that are developed in a participatory way are
easier to implement and more likely to last longer than ready made ones.
·
The wider governance context affects economic performance
of both government and the private sector. Institutional change can be
instrumental in enhancing economic performance.
·
Technical and engineering-based solutions of problems are
in fact profoundly political. Their impact is affected by the wider
policy envelop, management orientation, and traditions of governance.
