Capacity Building

Bosundhara’s Review

“Building capacity dessolves differences. It irons out inequalities”–Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

“Man, often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi.

It is the activities which strengthen the knowledge, skills and behaviour of individuals and improve institutional structures and processes such that the organisation can efficiently meet its mission and goals in a sustainable way. Capacity development is the process whereby people, organisations and society as a whole unleash, strengthen, crate, adapt and maintain capacity over time.
