| Summary: | Achieving the Millennium Development
Goals (MDG) and poverty reduction objectives of developing
countries requires a substantially greater investment in
capacity development. This translates into action at three
levels: improving the skills of individuals, developing
organizational processes and systems, and creating an
enabling environment that can support the achievement of
these goals. The process of planning and implementing
strategies for strengthening capacity can seem overwhelming
for development practitioners. Unbundling the capacity
elements into actionable components at the institutional,
organizational, and individual levels and linking them to
specific results can eliminate much of the perceived
complexity that often accompanies the planning process. One
way to begin is by using a capacity-results matrix to work
through the process. Such a matrix is designed to help
prioritize results, disaggregate capacity constraints,
determine needed capacity interventions, and agree on
indicators to measure progress. |
