"Capacity building is NOT about a training workshop. Building real capacity can be achieved when a combination of methods is used including supporting the practitioner within the organisation. This community based research project focussed on listening and learning from community practitioners, on what they are already doing well and their capacity needs."

Assessment

"I would like it (competence certificate) but you must also check I do it. It’s very important to visit and see my books and see that I doing what I have to do. …If you can look at my work and then you can ... advise."

Hazel Maposela, 23 May 2007

Assessment of competence deals with the verification of skill of the development practitioner. There are two assessment guides on offer, a Self Assessment Guide (only available to registered users) to check whether the practitioner is ready for external assessment and an Assessors Tool, to guide the assessment of competence.
