This document highlights and briefly describes some of the fundamental trends that are shaping the thinking and practice of capacity building today. For each trend identified, a set of related resources has been included that provides high level synthesis or conceptual framing of the trend. The goal of this document is not to provide the reader with a compendium of “how-to” guides for capacity building; rather, it is to introduce some of the key theoretical resources that have the potential to drive our capacity building work into the future. The listing of trends and associated resources is by no means exhaustive. We welcome additional contributions and adaptations of this document.
