Capacity Building: A Possible Approach to Improved Water Resources Management

This paper aims to reflect the complexity of capacity building. In providing some definitions and trends, it refers to the evolution of a concept that tries to adapt to, is applied to and faces a continuously changing environment. Further challenges will be highlighted, referring to improved water resources management. A possible approach will be described, reflecting InWEnt's water programmes. Based on this reflection, some lessons learned will be shared and an outlook for future interventions and adaptations will be given. This paper does not claim to be either complete or scientific. It is the view of one practitioner, one among many others.
