Capacity
Development

Skills, experience and knowledge vested in people combine to form a specific set of capacities that enable them to assume management and leadership responsibilities at the workplace or within their community. While some skills can take years to acquire, others can be quickly and efficiently taught.

Aralia Resources implements capacity development strategies to improve skills and practices across a wide variety of critical tasks, including:
• Organizational and personnel management
• Work planning and budgeting
• Proposal and report writing and communications
• Leadership and negotiation
• Financial management and administration
• Collaborative decision-making processes, including participation in governance boards, planning committees and other multi-stakeholder decision-making bodies

Aralia Resources has implemented capacity development programs for students, farmers and fishers, government staff, NGO staff and others who share the mission of protecting and rehabilitating important ecosystems and natural resources. Our team employs methods to suit specific groups and organizations, combining formal workshops, one-on-one and group training, lectures, learning-by-doing as well as long-term mentoring through seconded staff.
