Capacity Building Challenge
Capacity building and enhancing social capital are key strategic elements of public sector policy across the four nations of the UK. The paper draws comparisons in the difference in approach to the development of communities between the UK and Scottish Governments. With the advent of devolution, policy in this area has begun developing along different trajectories. For the devolved Scottish Government, capacity building forms a key element of practice and public policy within a framework of Community Learning and Development (CLD) that underpins community planning, the development of social capital, active citizenship, community engagement and regeneration. This paper highlights acknowledged examples from CLD in Scotland of ‘good practice’ in community projects in both the theory and practice of capacity building and the development of social capital. We also signpost some ideas for adoption and adaptation. It is hoped that the reader and CLD practitioner can obtain some ‘new’ ideas that they can embrace to inform their practice.
