Capacity Developments:
Capacity building is defined as the creation of an enabling environment with appropriate policy and legal frameworks, institutional development, including community participation, human resources development and strengthening of managerial systems. It is a long-term, continuing process, in which all stakeholders participate. However, capacity building often refers to assistance that is provided to develop a certain skill or competence, or for general upgrading of performance ability.
Capacity Building is much more than training and includes the following:
- Training — Strengthening organisation’s and community’s need for the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that organisations/community need to survive & sustain.
- Human Resource Development (HRD) — The process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enables them to perform effectively.
- Organisational Development (OD) — The elaboration of management structures, processes and procedures, not only within organisations but also the management of relationships between the different organisations and sectors (public, private and community).
