Bienvenidos a Capacity.org: un portal para el desarrollo de la capacidad
Bienvenidos a Capacity.org, un portal de información para la práctica del desarrollo de la capacidad y el hogar de la revista Capacity.org, publicada tres veces por año. Sobre la base de los temas de que trata la revista, este sitio Web tiene el propósito de facilitar el acceso a una amplia gama de materiales en línea a los que pueden recurrir los profesionales del desarrollo para utilizarlos en sus propias tareas. La información abarca las más recientes conclusiones de la investigación, marcos analíticos, intercambios de ideas sobre políticas, experiencias prácticas y conjuntos de instrumentos.
Se ofrecen enlaces con activos intercambios de ideas y comunidades de práctica, para posibilitar que los profesionales encuentren y puedan vincularse con diversas organizaciones, redes profesionales y comunidades de práctica y ampliar así el apoyo y los intercambios de conocimientos.
Capacity.org colabora con Learning Network on Capacity Development (LenCD) y con Capacity Development Network (Capacity.net) para que los recursos de conocimientos sobre desarrollo de la capacidad sean más accesibles a los responsables políticos, los investigadores, los profesionales del desarrollo y las organizaciones donantes.
Nota para nuestros lectores en idioma español
En la actualidad, el contenido en español solamente se ofrece en la sección del Diario de
este sitio Web. Estamos procurando activamente obtener mayores recursos para proporcionar más
cantidad de materiales en español.
Como parte de nuestros esfuerzos, estamos tratando de encontrar maneras de colaborar con organizaciones y redes que tienen sede en países y regiones de idioma español y/o de recaudar los fondos para producir o generar materiales adicionales en este idioma. Si usted está interesado en considerar la posibilidad de ese tipo de colaboración, sírvase enviar un e-mail a Heinz Greijn (editor@capacity.org). Aguardamos con interés recibir sus noticias.

Supporting improved livelihoods for pastoralists
Pastoralism is often depicted as an anachronistic system that cannot cope with the demands of
modern development. However, practical experience reveals that pastoralism is not only capable of
changing with the times, it is often the only viable livelihood option, particularly for
communities living in remote, dryland environments. This collection of case studies from SNV
Netherlands Development Organisation demonstrates that external support can help to strengthen
pastoralists' voice in policymaking, enhance their engagement with markets and improve service
provision and natural resource management in some of the most challenging environments in Africa
today.

Strengthening pastoralist voices in Tanzania
This booklet, and its accompanying DVD, reports on the ‘Strengthening Voices’ project,
underway in two districts in northern Tanzania. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of
pastoralist communities and local governments to shape strategies for adaptive environmental
management and poverty reduction in Tanzania’s drylands. At the core of the project is a training
course that explains the economic and ecological processes at the heart of pastoral systems -
clarifying the rationale that underpins pastoral livelihood strategies.The course is based on a
similar initiative that has been field-tested and run in the Sahel region of West Africa since
2000. -
Greening Development: Enhancing Capacity for Environmental Management and Governance
This new publication from OECD (February 2012) outlines a number of steps to be considered
when building capacity for greening national development planning, national budgetary processes and
key economic sector strategies. The report identifies the key actors to be engaged in the
decision-making processes, outlines possible capacity needs and suggests how these can be
addressed.

Building resilient (agro-) pastoralist systems
05 February 2012
The recent drought in the Horn of Africa was the latest of a series of recurring famines that continue to ravage parts of the continent. The crisis seemed to confirm the views of those who question the future of livelihoods in African drylands. Despite the omnipresence of (agro-) pastoralism on the continent, a dominant school of thought regards it as an 'inefficient' system that cannot cope with current market and food demands. According to this viewpoint, pastoralism should make place for modern livestock-keeping systems that are 'better equipped' to supply the demands of the current market. At best, pastoralists may just manage to survive in remote areas, but will almost certainly remain dependent on food aid. A contrasting viewpoint claims it is too early to predict the demise of (agro-) pastoralists in modern societies: there is no viable alternative for many of the drylands in which they survive. But it also misrepresents their positive contribution to the economy and to the sustainable use of land and water.

In December 2011, the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) published a synthesis report on initial practices and lessons emerging from organizations in developing countries that are using the five core capabilities (5Cs) framework to support capacity development at various levels. The reference document is intended to make these and other practical experiences more widely accessible.
