2. CD programme

It soon became obvious that the CD programme needed to take into account the hundreds of very specific local capacity gaps and the related interventions at an aggregated level whilst empowering the participants and encouraging them to work out detailed actions to address the specific issues. Also, the CD programme needed to fit the field days actually available to NETWAS for the delivery of the CD programme. The 11 town capacity-building plans were analysed by the CD consor- tium and the findings were grouped into five major issue headings that covered all capacity gaps. The major issues were: focus on disadvantaged people; supra-town institutions and organizations; service coverage and quality; public engagement and access; and procurement and contracting (details shown in table 2).
