Building individual capacity is a key community development principle, yet how many of us often overlook this step in our efforts? We are so skillful in engaging people in developing a common vision and identifying priorities. We often then move right into a project management approach by defining the best activities to implement, who should do them, what resources we need, timelines, and the type of evaluation methodology required. We also often assume that those involved in change efforts are there because they have passion and they are capable and competent to deliver on whatever they signed up for.
The competencies and framework serve as a guide for the design and delivery of leadership development training to individuals participating in the community health networks - as leadership training and building individual capacity will now become an integrated way of how they work and volunteer in the future.
The framework also includes a self-assessment tool to evaluate your own leadership competencies and guide in the creation of a personal leadership development plan.
