This document summarizes a presentation on capacity development given at a meeting in Rome from June 26-29, 2018. It discusses three dimensions of capacity - technical, functional, and enabling environment. It also covers defining and measuring capacity, managing for results, developing indicators and means of verification for measuring outcomes and outputs. Workshop participants worked in groups to identify a capacity issue, propose an intervention, and define related outcomes, outputs and indicators for a hypothetical land administration project in Country X.

2. Three Dimensions of Capacity Development - Recap
Technical
capacity in
the broad
areas
of food and
agriculture
Functional
capacities to
enable country
actors to plan,
manage and
sustain change.
Capacity: "the ability of people, organizations and society as a whole to
manage their affairs successfully”.
Capacity development: “the process of unleashing, strengthening and
maintaining of such capacity". (OECD DAC )

3. Capacity Areas - Recap Individual dimension areas:
• Knowledge
• Competencies
• Attitudes and behaviors
• Values
Organizational dimension areas: linked to
the functioning and performance of
organizations, including the:
• Mandates
• Systems
• Internal processes
• Organizational priorities
• Motivation and financial/non financial
incentives
• Collaboration and KS mechanisms
• Infrastructures and equipment
Enabling environment areas: the context in
which individuals and organizations work,
including:
• the institutional set-up of a country
• implicit and explicit rules
• power structures
• legal, policy and political environment

4. Managing for Results - Recap
The Results Chain-
Causality, attribution
and contribution
Inputs
Activities
Outputs
Outcomes
Impact
‘Hope to see’
Long-term development improvements
to which we contribute
‘Want to see’
Immediate effects on clients Beyond team control
but achievable given necessary conditions
‘Expect to see’
The end products and services; deliverables from
the activities; within team control
Actions undertaken to transform inputs into outputs
Financial, human and material resources

Group Work
PART 1
• In groups, take few minutes to read the
Capacity Matrix individually
• Then select one capacity issue from
the matrix which the intervention should
address (this is your entry point)
PART 2
• Propose the appropriate modalities to
address that issue (How to get
there/intervention)
PART 3
• Define one outcome, one output, 1-2
indicators and 1-2 means of verification
Defining capacity development-related outputs, outcomes and indicators
PARTIE 1
• En groupe, prenez quelques minutes pour
lire la matrice de capacité individuellement
• Sélectionnez ensuite un problème de
capacité dans la matrice que l'intervention
doit traiter (ceci est votre point d'entrée)
PARTIE 2
• Proposer les modalités appropriées pour
résoudre ce problème (Comment y
parvenir/intervention)
PARTIE 3
• Définissez un résultat, un objectif
spécifique, 1-2 indicateurs et 1-2 moyens
de vérification
Définir les réalisations, les résultats et les indicateurs liés au renforcement des capacités
