What is capacity assessment?
While conventional capacity development interventions have focused largely on technical capacities, there is growing recognition that paying increased attention to enhancing functional or core capacities offers stronger sustainability and contributions to development outcomes.
A capacity assessment attempts to answer three questions:
What are the current capacities within the anti-corruption agency at all entry levels (enabling environment, organizational level and individual level)?
Where do capacities need to be strengthened/developed within and around the anti-corruption agency at all entry levels?
How should capacity development be undertaken to fill the gap between current capacities and desired capacities?
