What is "Capacity Building"?
At the individual level Capacity Building refers to changing attitudes and behaviours, imparting knowledge and developing skills while maximising the benefits of participation, knowledge exchange, and ownership. At the institutional level, Capacity Building focuses on overall organisational performance and functioning capabilities, and the ability of an organisation to adapt to change. At the systemic level, Capacity Building emphasises the overall policy framework in which individuals and organisations operate and interact with the external environment, as well as the formal and informal relationships of institutions.


Capacity Building is at the heart of Namibia’s development objectives and a number of strategies are in place to help especially previously disadvantaged Namibian’s to fully engage in development activities.
