Is community capacity building working?

Burdekin Dry Tropics Natural Resource Management (BDTNRM) spent around $3 million on capacity building for NRM in our region in 2007/08, but it is working?

In a report released by BDTNRM this month, Dr. Jeff Coutts, of Coutts J&R and BDTNRM’s Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Dr. Chloe Schauble found that our capacity building work has a significant impact on the knowledge and awareness of NRM issues in the region.

She went on to say that, “the investment fosters networking, develops partnerships and improves relationships across organisations and communities.” [more]
