Company Profile
NACP III has an ambitious set of targets for scaling-up operations in all of its key implementation areas. NACO has reviewed its own capacity requirements in light of these ambitious targets and identified key areas where external support is required. To this end, a variety of donors and agencies have offered NACO technical and managerial support to rollout NACP III in several programme areas.

The plan is to institutionalize the support through the creation of a National Technical Support Unit (NTSU) for NACO. The NTSU would be convened and led by NACO, with individual consultant and expert support through a variety of donors/agencies.

The guiding principle of the NTSU is to support and build in-house NACO capacity to deliver the functions required to scale up NACP III within the tenure of the NACO TSU

Objectives of NTSU

1. Assist NACO in the quick rollout of high quality NACP III activities at national, state and district levels.

2. Build in-house capacity to implement efforts at scale and with high quality.

3. Act as a think tank to support roll out of NACP III through strategic interventions and technical assistance.

The NTSU will consist of full-time consultants who will be paid directly by external agencies. The NTSU consultants will be allocated 100% to their role within NACO and day to day oversight and management of the NTSU will be done by NACO. The selected candidates will be co-located with NACO.

The project is funded by multilateral donor agency.
