LenCD Strategic Planning Survey

This year marks an important point for the Learning Network on Capacity Development (LenCD) and we would like to thank you for taking a few minutes to give us your suggestions about the future of the network.

Since 2004, LenCD has been an active partner in the capacity development landscape, as an informal network of partners engaged around advocacy and learning on capacity development. LenCD has a wide constituency of organizations and individuals that have an interest to be linked to a learning agenda on capacity development and aims to support connecting evidence with practice and policy and closing “learning loops”.

In February, network partners will convene in Kigali to review and define the future strategic direction of the network. We hope you will be able to share with us your thoughts and suggestions about the network and its role in capacity development.
