The Capacity Assessment Methodology User’s Guide provides UNDP and other development practitioners with an overview of UNDP’s approach to Capacity Development and Capacity Assessment and a step-by-step guide to conducting a capacity assessment using UNDP’s “default” Capacity Assessment Framework and Supporting Tool. UNDP presents its approach to Capacity Development and Capacity Assessment in its Practice Notes. This User’s Guide should be used in conjunction with the Practice Notes as they provide explanations of terms and concepts referenced herein. The Practice Note on Capacity Development provides practitioners with a basic understanding of core capacity issues to focus on in a development context, why such capacities are important, and how external partners can support countries’ efforts to further deepen and effectively utilize such capacity to achieve their development goals. It also proposes default principles for supporting capacity development and points for mainstreaming capacity development into programming and operations. The Practice Note on Capacity Assessment provides practitioners with UNDP’s “default” capacity assessment framework, intended to serve as a starting point for capacity assessment exercises. The framework is intended to provide a comprehensive view of the issues that could be addressed in a capacity assessment, yet be flexible enough for adaptation to the needs of any given capacity assessment situation.
