CAPRi conducted its first training course in 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya. Additional courses were conducted in 2005 (Hyderabad, India), 2007 (Bangalore, India), and 2010 (San Salvador, El Salvador). Given their success and the growing demand, the scaling up of the training program was beyond CAPRi’s capacity and mandate. In response, an assessment of capacity building strategies recommended producing a sourcebook that would capture and disseminate the results of the large body of CAPRi research. The presentation is simple and straightforward, but it is based on sound underlying research. The objective of the book is to build capacity of research and development organizations to recognize the importance and relevance of CAPRi concepts and to apply the lessons and methods from CAPRi research in their work with communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
