INTRAC COURSE:

INTRAC COURSE: AN ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT APPROACH TO CAPACITY BUILDING

DATE: 18-22 February, 2002
VENUE: Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM

A current concern and priority for managers and senior practitioners in the
NGO sector is how to build the capacity of their organisations and that of
their partner organisations. Southern and Eastern NGOs, other civil society
groups and Northern NGOs and official agencies seek to develop and
implement strategies that focus not only on programme performance but also
on strengthening organisations.

This course takes an Organisational Development Approach to Capacity
Building, focusing on the strengthening of the organisation as its central
theme. In particular, the importance of understanding organisations and the
process of change and development within them will be addressed:
- Understanding organisations; how they work, develop and adapt in a
rapidly changing environment
- Relating understanding of organisations to the way you work, both
internally and with partner organisations
- Unpacking `capacity-building’ - what is good practice?
- Examining the roles of Northern NGOs/ donors in capacity-building
- Exploring new forms of partnership

Cost: GBP 785.00 (Price includes course fees, accommodation and meals).
Deadline of applications: 18 January, 2002.
