Capacity building means improving your group’s ability to address the problem you have identified within your community.
Capacity includes (1) the human, technical, organizational, and financial resources you will need to address the problem, and (2) your community’s readiness to do so. Before you begin building capacity, you must assess your community’s current capacity.
Capacity building is an ongoing process. Different elements of capacity become more important during different points in the SPF cycle. Your capacity needs may change as work progresses, goals are accomplished, and priorities shift or expand.
