Grant Description

The Civilian Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) is an effort to coordinate and deliver technical assistance to Afghan ministries and government agencies that is Afghan-owned, demand driven, focused on capacity development, and accountable for effective results.

The program gives the Afghan Government control over the recruitment, hiring, and placement process of technical experts - paired with counterparts within the Afghan Government to facilitate the transfer of skills and knowledge.

Through technical assistance, CTAP aims to improve core operations necessary for a functioning government - such as finance, procurement, budgeting, human resources, policy development, and coordination among government institutions at the national and local levels.

The program has an Advisory Board Meeting that convenes once a quarter and is chaired by the Deputy Finance Minister (Policy).
