It also calls for the establishment of conditions that will allow individuals to engage in the "process of learning and adapting to change."
  • Institutional level - Community capacity building on an institutional level should involve aiding pre-existing institutions in developing countries. It should not involve creating new institutions, rather modernizing existing institutions and supporting them in forming sound policies, organizational structures, and effective methods of management and revenue control.
