Rationale (the Local COCI)
A Local Chamber of Commerce & Industry (COCI) is normally a voluntary association whose membership is comprised of companies, civic leaders, and individual business people. Its members seek to promote the interests of business, typically in a broad-based way. (Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/chamber-of-commerce)
The Local COCI along the EWEC can play crucial role to encourage the transboundary trade. Their roles are not limited only to support provincial economic development but also support cooperation program, cooperate & promote trade with other cities/countries, provide education/information support to community, and coordinate with other COCI.(Source: the ADB Technical Assistance Consultant’s Report, December 2008)
Rationale (LCOCI)
Therefore, the local COCI capacity building need assessment is crucial to be addressed since they can enhance, support and facilitate public and private sector to develop in their respective geographical location.
However, each local COCI along the EWEC have difference capacity. Therefore, the MI would like to research on this topic in order to provide a series of capacity building training programs to enhance their institutional, organizational and human resource capacities.
Capacity Building is a planned development of (or increase in) knowledge, output rate, management, skills, and other capabilities of an organization through acquisition, incentives, technology, and/or training Source : http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/capacity-building.html
Research Questions : What are the essential skills that need to be
provided in order to enable MI local partners/local COCI to perform their maximize ability?
Research Objectives : To understand the current capacity of each MI
local partners/local COCI To find out the capacity gab in each level of MI
local partners/local COCI which need to be addressed
To provide suitable training programs to enhance their capacity
