  1. Building Local Capacity through Regional Networks Mary McNeil, WBIEN March 30, 2005

  2. WBI and Local Capacity Building • A. Networking, mass audience outreach, partnerships with local institutions • Southeastern CSO Network • ASEAN Secretariat • Africa CDD Network of Facilitators • CEN Network • Sac Network of Practitioners, Africa • Regionally focused (non-operationally specific) • Specific Links to Operations • Cross-support on TA design, implementation • Responsive to operational demand • Country-focused (operationally specific)

  3. Why regional networks? • Builds on local process and context • Emphasizes role of practitioners, or learning by doing approach • Enables strengthening of local partner institutions • Facilitates global knowledge exchange, as well as regional knowledge exchange • Enables two-way learning, and South-South exchange • Fosters ownership of capacity-building agenda

  4. Long-term goals • Capacity building becomes about knowledge exchange, not top-down transfer of technical skills alone • Sustainability of capacity building efforts that requires less and less WB intervention • Give analysis, research, and design of projects over more to clients • WBI becomes a catalyst and facilitator rather than a “teacher”
