Mission
Community Capacity Building
Our policy on community capacity building is in tandem with WALT. The Scottish policy context for building community capacity is found in the Working and Learning Together to Build Stronger Communities (WALT) guidance.
Community capacity building is a way of working with people to develop their ability to jointly influence what happens in their community.
WALT identifies ‘achievement through building community capacity’ as one of the three national priorities for HOPE AMPLIFIED.
It describes the process as ‘building community capacity and influence by enabling individuals, groups and communities to develop the confidence, understanding and skills required to influence decision making and service delivery.
This could include enabling communities to provide and manage services to meet community needs. This is one of our engagement activity.
