Summary |
The international development community invests billions of dollars to improve organizational capacity. But real-life practice is poorly understood and undervalued as a distinct professional domain. Written by practitioners, this innovative publication is designed to make a capacity development more professional and increasingly effective in achieving development goals.
Practical illustrations draw on experiences from the civic, government and private sectors. A central theme is to understand capacity as more than something internal to organizations. This book shows how capacity also stems from connections between different types of actor and the levels in society of which they operate.
The content is crafted for a broad audience of practitioners in capacity development: leaders, managers, programme staff, front-line workers, advisers, consultants, trainers, facilitators, activists and funding agencies.
