Capacity building encompasses a number of other factors which complement and support its goals and objectives. These components are very closely linked and frequently overlap in terms of objectives, activities and outputs. The interaction of all of these components is the most effective method of achieving capacity building. Access to and the use of information is especially important in decision making. The creation and expansion of active partnerships throughout the world is continuously encouraged.
Training is a key activity in order to achieve successful capacity building.
The incorporation of training in the agendas of countries is essential for empowering them through the acquisition of new skills which will better enable them to achieve their goals. The ability to mobilize resources and to carry out fundraising activities in order to achieve financial self-sufficiency, is a further necessary aspect to ensure effective capacity building. Furthermore gaining knowledge and experience on how best to invest acquired funds will maximize benefits and minimize waste. It is therefore fundamental to the success of sustainable development. New Technologies can offer precious time and cost saving means of achieving the goals of development programmes.
