Capacity Global projects aim to support learning, develop thinking, initiate solutions and promote diversity. We have a particular expertise in consulting with marginalised sections of society such as low income and working class households, indigenous communities, Black, Asian and other Minority & Ethnic (BAME) groups and young people.

OECD/LEED Project on Community Capacity Building

Capacity will be conducting research for OECD (Office for Economic Cooperation and Development) on Environmental Capacity Building: - Analysis in Asia, Americas, Europe & Mexico.

Our research will be based on evaluation of community capacity building (ccb) on major environmental issues. The evaluation process will be based on an analysis of successful attempts at creating capacity of vulnerable/deprived communities by creating social, economical and environmental capital that have benefits to individuals and the collective community. The evaluation of good practice capacity building in relation to the environment will be based on the ability of the practice, project, strategy to do the following:

remove key barriers
provide/give access to required resources
develop creative 'solutions' in partnership with effected communities
level of improvement - skills, competences, knowledge, [and] structures'
facilitate participation and decision making
influence (cross-sector) policy, business practice and sustainable community development.
