ARCHIVED - The Community Capacity Building Tool
Alberta/NWT Region
A tool for planning, building and reflecting on community capacity in community-based health projects
This document is a planning tool to help you build community capacity in health promotion projects. The tool gives you a snapshot of where you are—and where you still might go—in building community capacity for your project.
Using the metaphor of a journey, the tool lets you evaluate or track your location in a health-project journey. Just started, On the road, Nearly there, and We’re there are the four mapping points. We suggest you use the tool in small groups with people involved in your project to generate ideas.
