Today, the international community is experiencing rapid
change all over the globe and questions of development
are becoming more complex and controversial than ever
before.
It is also true that during the last decade we have
seen unparalleled development in many areas with regard
to communication and new technologies which offers new
possibilities to deal with the burning issues of our time.
Yet many of the problems of poverty and inequality remain
seemingly intractable. It is obvious that both financial
stringency and a pervasive scepticism about development
impact is putting organisations under increasing pressure
to demonstrate results and effective performance to a variety
of stakeholders
Capacity building is now of fundamental importance,
if our organisations and institutions are to address effectively
the pressing issues of our time both locally and globally.
