“能力建设”是许多发展方案的目标，也是大多数其他方案的组成部分。然而，我们仍然找不到令人满意的定义，而且人们普遍怀疑这一概念过于宽泛，没有用处。它往往只是一种委婉的说法，指的只是培训。本文认为，更重要的是解决系统的能力建设，确定了一个金字塔的九个独立的，但相互依存的组成部分。这些构成了能力建设需求的四个层次：（1）结构、系统和作用;（2）工作人员和设施;（3）技能;（4）工具。强调系统性能力建设将有助于更好地分析具体地点的部门缺陷，改进项目/方案的设计和监测，并导致更有效地利用资源。根据在25个国家进行的广泛行动研究，介绍了印度的经验，以说明能力建设金字塔的概念是如何付诸实践的。
'Capacity building' is the objective of many development programmes and a component of most others. However, satisfactory definitions continue to elude us, and it is widely suspected of being too broad a concept to be useful. Too often it becomes merely a euphemism referring to little more than training. This paper argues that it is more important to address systemic capacity building, identifying a pyramid of nine separate but interdependent components. These form a four-tier hierarchy of capacity building needs: (1) structures, systems and roles, (2) staff and facilities, (3) skills, and (4) tools. Emphasizing systemic capacity building would improve diagnosis of sectoral shortcomings in specific locations, improve project/programme design and monitoring, and lead to more effective use of resources. Based on extensive action research in 25 States, experience from India is presented to illustrate how the concept of the capacity building pyramid has been put to practical use.
