February 2009 - The UNDP Capacity Development Group (CDG) is pleased to launch the new public website of the UNDP on capacity development. The new website reflects the current thinking of UNDP’s approach to supporting capacity development. The site is better structured for easy access to information and key knowledge resources. It prominently features:
- UNDP approach to capacity development which takes the existing base of capacities in every situation as its starting point and supports national efforts to extend and retain them, building on nationally determined priorities, policies and desired results.
- Country support – a list of services that UNDP offers to countries.
- Capacity development core issues identified by CDG as areas where strategic interventions yield significant and lasting gains on capacity – institutional arrangements, leadership development, knowledge and accountability.
- CDG application areas – aid effectiveness, local service delivery and national implementation capacities.
- Knowledge resources – a wide variety of knowledge products produced by UNDP and partner agencies that are available free of charge.
To send comments and suggestions about the new website, please contact the Capacity Development Group at cdg.group@undp.org.
