At the same time TATTs develops local networks of trainers and facilitators to support the future sustainability of capacity development initiatives.

As a member of the TATTs Consortium led by Mercy Corps, Cardno is responsible for the provision of professional Short-Term Technical Assistance to provide the program with high standard specialists for the delivery of technical and non-technical outputs.
