The need for a conceptual and results-oriented framework in capacity development : discussion of a new approach

Efforts to develop capacity are being hindered by disparate methodologies, insufficient focus on outcomes and indicators, and a lack of concrete results to show improved capacity. The authors examine the need for a new resource to guide, capture, and communicate capacity development (CD) efforts. They outline a results-driven and systematic framework - based on rigorous needs assessment, innovative change process logic, and participatory implementation that is driven by local ownership, adaptive management, and measurable results. This resource can fill a critical gap in CD design and reporting, as well as fuel further discussion in the development community.
