Capacity building, the process by which individuals, organisations, and communities develop skills and abilities to realise their developmental goals while enhancing the abilities that will allow them to achieve measurable and sustainable results – is often challenging and complex.
The good news is that organisations in Eastern and Southern Africa have taken responsibility in ensuring that capacity building is demystified to deliver results.
The first HIV Capacity Building Partners’ Summit, held in March 2011 in Nairobi, and attended by more than 250 delegates from 25 countries, marked the beginning of a new wave on how partners can work together to ensure capacity building delivers through results.
It is against this background that the Second HIV Capacity Building Summit (Capacity Summit 2013) will build on the emerging consensus that there is need to turn the tide to ensure capacity building interventions effectively addresses the existing skills and capacity gaps that have continued to constrain the attainment of the HIV and health targets towards achieving the MDGs in the Eastern and Southern Africa region.
