Applying Competencies – State Capability Enhancement Project

Through SCEP, we seek to enhance the capability of government by optimizing the resources and processes that determine governance. As evidenced by the fact that 48% of state expenditures in Meghalaya go toward salaries and pensions, the primary resource of Meghalaya government is its people. The primary objective of SCEP is to actualize and elevate the intrinsic potential of gov­ernment functionaries through capability building at different levels. Agents of government need a sense of purpose, technical prowess to fulfil their individual responsibilities, and the freedom to innovate. These are made meaningful through a strong sense of work ethic and an overarching ethos of accountability.
