Title

Capacity Development

Course Description

Over the last forty years our understanding of the what, the why, and the how of capacity development has continued to evolve. While there remain challenges in gaining agreement on which practices are most effective, what we do know is that those efforts which are most enduring include a multi-pronged approach working at the various levels. During this course we'll look at: various dimensions of capacity development; individual, organizational, and environmental; the role of training, learning, and performance in developing capacity at the various levels; the role of systems thinking and practice in capacity development; and fragile and conflict-affected states and capacity development.
