Introduction

Why new approaches to capacity building?

• Multiplicity of initiatives;
• Repeated failures;
• Increasing failure to deliver on set objectives;
• Heightened expectations to deliver;
• Focus on more money and more people;

So, what is it that we are doing differently in developing capacity to attain the MDGs?

• "We always do what we have always done, so we get we always get"
  • Keep busy with no impact on growth (Kalongolongo economics);
  • Frustration due to repeated failure;
  • Low self-esteem as a people because we do not move at the desired speed, and depth;
  • Train more of the same;
  • Employ more of the same;
  • Create more, and repeat more of the same problems and mistakes;
  • Make service delivery a favour, and not a right;
  • End result is a citizenry that does not demand service delivery; and the cycle continues
