The organization started the process of capacity building in close collaboration with apex training institutions in the country (National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, National Institute of Public Cooperation and Child Development and National Council of Educational Research and Training). MAMTA is now working closely with the government and the non-government organizations in the training of public and private health service providers (medical and paramedical), government functionaries, schoolteachers, traditional birth attendants, NGO functionaries and peer educators (young people).The capacity building has been by and large on the issues of reproductive and child health, RTI/ STI-HIV/AIDS and adolescent health with special focus on areas of young people/adolescents’ reproductive and sexual health and rights. Gender and Rights approach is weaved in to our capacity building programmes.

The organization has now taken on the challenging task of building capacities of the 126 partner NGOs (in the network) in the 7 states of the country to take on advocacy, program implementation and intervention research related to young people. The experience gained over the years has helped us in extending the process of capacity building to the regional level where MAMTA with its twinning partner rfsu (Swedish Association for Sexuality Education) is conducting the International Training program on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of young people for the South and South East Asian countries for the second year in 2004.This involves building capacities of senior and middle level professionals from government ministries and departments and non government organizations on young people’s health and development issues. We have made efforts to see that the trainings get translated into actual implementation. This includes follow-up of the participants and organizing them into networks that have a definite objective. Also included as a part of this process are the sustained technical inputs to continuously enhance the capacities of the staff and sustain their interest.  Training resources have been developed as well to help the participants and other programmers working in this area.
