Community capacity is the "interaction of human capital, organizational resources, and social capital existing within a given community that can be leveraged to solve collective problems and improve and maintain the well-being of that community (Chaskin 2001)."
This course explores the concept and basic assumptions of community capacity building while also focusing on the practical methods that can be used in community capacity building efforts. The course is highly interactive and emphasizes the sharing of experiences, ideas, and insights from participants. Participants are encouraged to ground the ideas discussed by applying them to their own communities or development projects.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- understand the basic assumptions of community capacity building
- link the theory of community capacity building to real world applications
- describe various examples of community capacity building initiatives
- design a community capacity building initiative for their community or development project
