• Sommario/riassunto: The international development community invests billions of dollars to improve organisational 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 capacity development more professional and increasingly effective in achieving development goals.Accountability and LearningAdvisers' Roles Capacity Development Market?DialogueEngaging with Community Based OrganizationsInstitutions, Power and Politics Knowledge Networking Leadership Development Measuring Capacity DevelopmentMicro-Macro Gap Multiple DimensionsMultiple Actors Multiple LevelsOrganizational Development as a SourceOwnership, Authority and ConflictPart I: Perspectives on CapacityPart II: Establishing Your Practice Part III: Working with Connections Part IV: Improving on Results Part V: Looking Ahead 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 organisations. This book shows how capacity also stems from connections between different types of actor and the levels in society at which they operate.
