How ReCAP™ Works End-to-End?
ReCAP™ Success Model in Steps
Implementing ReCAP™ Methodologies requires a structured, phased approach that ensures clarity, alignment, and measurable impact. The following phases create a unified implementation roadmap for Research and Studies, Academic Consulting, and Capacity Building.
Each phase builds upon the previous one, starting with mobilization, moving through discovery and design, and culminating in delivery and continuous improvement.
This framework ensures that all ReCAP™ components, drivers, the D³ Change Model, and enablers, are consistently applied to create sustainable, high-quality outcomes.
