Community Capacity Building

ICM Professional Diploma Unit

Community Capacity Building unit aims to develop Learners’ critical understanding of community capacity building and empowerment as central components of sustainable social development. Learners explore theoretical and practical approaches to strengthening community systems, leadership, organisations and participation.

The unit examines empowerment cycles, capacity-building techniques, programme design, leadership and organisational development and emerging trends shaping contemporary practice. By the end of the unit, Learners will be able to analyse capacity-building interventions, evaluate empowerment programmes and apply strategic thinking to community development contexts.

This unit forms part of the Community Development and Social Change Qualification.

Example Candidate Response Booklet

Example Candidate Response (ECR) Booklets are a source of crucial information for Centres and Candidates as they use real candidate responses. We ask Senior Examiners to comment on five or more responses in terms of why the mark was awarded with commentary about how to improve the answer (if necessary).
