Cross cutting efforts for capacity building at various levels of society and within the organization have their roots in the strategic choices of Taraqee Foundation. It was in July 2004 that a separate unit was established to compliment such efforts which in its essence was conceived and existed even before its establishment. The idea was build around the immense need of such an arrangement at Balochistan where majority of public or private institutions have to bear huge logistics costs to arrange capacity building events due to unavailibity of professional trainers in the province.

The Human & Institutional Development (HID) section currently comprises of four professionals including one section manager and three program officers. During a short period of six months (1st July to 31st Dec 2004), the section staff worked tirelessly for various capacity building events at institutional and individual level. A comprehensive capacity building plan was developed worth around 10 million PAK rupees to be implemented in various districts of Balochistan and some areas of Sindh. Similarly a TNA (Training Needs Assessment) report was compiled on the basis of which appropriate trainings were channeled to staff throughout the organization. Some other initiatives have also been taken in line with the institutional development priority of the section. The section operates with following major objectives:
1. Capacity building of staff/communities
2. Review/enhancement of organizational policies/systems
3. Institutional strengthening of partner CBOs/community units e.g. ADG, WDG, Credit Centers etc,
4. Strategic planning of Taraqee Foundation
5. Networking at grass roots, civil society and government/policy making level,
6. Resource mobilization for new/core programs/projects
7. Establishment of a Trainers pool for staff and community trainings,
