Promoting Knowledge and Good Practice: LenCD The Learning Network on Capacity Development (LenCD) is an informal network of analysts and practitioners aimed at creating a global community of practice around capacity development. Its objectives are to facilitate the sharing of lessons and distill quality criteria for good practice; promote research, share experiences, monitor outcomes and carry out other empirical work; foster country-level, regional and international dialogue and collaboration; promote the mainstreaming of capacity development issues into agency operations; and act as a key partner to advance the OECD/DAC’s capacity development agenda. The network emerged from several streams of research and conferences over recent years and was established in June 2004. LenCD was instrumental in organizing a roundtable on capacity development as part of the Paris High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness and in substantively guiding the development of a widely agreed reference paper “The Challenge of Capacity Development: Working Towards Good Practice” adopted by the DAC in 2006. LenCD organizes annual global events such as the Nairobi Forum in October 2006 “Addressing the Paris Declaration: Collective Responsibility for Capacity Development." LenCD has partnered with the OECD/DAC in the preparations for the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness and will continue to engage in an emerging agenda post Accra. | LenCD is an open Learning Network on Capacity Development that links many initiatives globally and is supporting an evolving community of practice. You are welcome to join. Members of the steering group:
