Capacity Building

A staged approach to assess, plan and monitor capacity building (pdf 81kb)

This document outlines the staged capacity building model and a number of tools to help implement it.

The staged capacity building model is a methodology for planning and monitoring capacity building. It is a systematic approach to assess the capacity of work groups and individuals, identify needs, develop strategies to build capacity and assess the results.

It provides a practical tool for use by advisers and counterpart staff working together, thus incorporating
best practice philosophies and approaches on effective capacity building. It is designed for use during implementation of donor funded activities.

The model has been developed from a process used in AusAID's Ministry of Planning and Finance Project in East Timor, where advisers and counterparts were seeking a tool to track their progress in capacity building.
