Synopsis
Examines the concept of capacity-building and shows why it is such an integral part of development theory. The book considers specific and practical ways in which NGOs can contribute to enabling people to build on the capacities that they already posess, while avoiding undermining those capacities. The author reviews the types of social organization with which NGOs might consider working, and the provision of training in a variety of skills and activities for the people involved and for their organization. The particular importance of using a capacity-building approach in emergencies and the dynamic and long-term nature of the process, are also emphasized.
