Capacity Building

Capacity includes the knowledge, organization, and resources needed to perform a function.

Capacity building focuses on strengthening the knowledge, skills, and abilities of individuals, groups, organizations, and/or systems through various processes and activities. These processes and activities better enable programs to achieve higher performance in tasks related to attaining their specific goals and objectives.

In addition to developing and implementing strategies for enhanced performance, capacity building should include processes for tracking and adapting capacity and performance needs to continue to meet the demands of HIV/AIDS programs.

You are welcome to submit information related to capacity building for inclusion on this site. We will gladly review your submission and add all relevant resources.

Scenario building - planning for a future with HIV/AIDS

SD are running a special policy research workshop in collaboration with Prof Tony Barnett of the LSEAIDS, the multidisciplinary department at the London School of Economics.

AIDS presents long term problems - both in its impact and in its possible solutions.

Building scenarios enables such a dialogue. The workshop is aimed at senior professionals in the private and public sectors and from NGOs. It will guide participants through a methodology of building and using scenarios as well as how to work with existing scenarios. The sessions will be interactive and strengthened by the high-caliber of experienced and skilled participants.

Sessions run from 9.30am to 5.00pm on April 21 and 22, while the last day concludes at 12.30 to facilitate travelling arrangements.
