While capacity building is a critical part of our work, traditional models of capacity building do not always account for culture, systems, and power in their design, failing to keep equity centered in their approach. GEO’s latest publication, Reimagining Capacity Building, explores principles for centering equity in our capacity-building efforts, explores the way inequities can show up, and offers steps we can take to address and mitigate those inequities.

Capacity building is critical to impactful grantmaking. Traditional models of capacity building, however, don’t always account for culture, systems, and power in its design. By not fully assessing assumptions and values, equity principles fall by the wayside and capacity building instead reinforces patterns of harm in the communities we intend to benefit. Join this session to learn from GEO’s latest work on Reimagining Capacity Building, which examines principles for centering equity in our capacity building efforts.
