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.

Engaging communities in identifying beneficiaries of pro-poor programmes
One of the main challenges countries face in effectively targeting social safety net
programmes is correctly identifying the poorest households. This January 2013 Brief highlights a
study by MIT's Poverty Action Lab that compared community-based methods of selecting who qualifies
for a cash transfer programme with proxy means tests. The study found that while participatory
methods were less accurate overall, they greatly improved local satisfaction and better matched the
poor’s own concept of poverty. -

Innovative financing for smallholders: The elusiveness of inclusiveness
May 6, 2013 - Heinz Greijn, Editor-in-Chief, Capacity.org
In order to grow and sustain their livelihood farmers need access to credit. But farmers at the bottom of the pyramid are difficult to reach out to by commercial banks. A commercial bank needs to make profit to sustain its business but there are a multitude of reasons that make it difficult to realize a return on investment from working with small farmers. For local banks it is far easier to invest in government treasury bills than in small farmers. Hence commercial banks tend to work only with large farmers that are well positioned in agricultural value chains. Fortunately not all lenders are driven exclusively by profit.

April 4, 2013 - Heinz Greijn, Editor-in-Chief, Capacity.org
At a time of declining development budgets, attention is turning to how to achieve greater impact with fewer resources. One of the strategies to achieve this is through innovative development financing (IDF) which refers to the innovative use of funds to catalyse private investments for pro-poor or inclusive development in a range of areas including agricultural value chains, water supply systems, renewable energy facilities, education institutes, access to health services etc. However, in many ways knowledge development on IDF is still in its infancy. The next issue of Capacity.org journal aims to shed the spotlight on this important issue by highlighting experiences with IDF, especially at the meso and micro level. We welcome contributions from researchers and practitioners with experience on this topic.
