The use of criteria as tools for capacity assessment permits consideration of this concept in a practical way.

They recommended that the GEF project on national capacity self assessment consider any recommendations of this workshop when preparing a national strategic plan of action on capacity building.

The Committee notes that the main issue in the penal case against the author was the assessment of his capacity to perform military duty, and that means an assessment of facts.

Capacity building is a critical component of the UNEP portfolio in the fields of environmental assessment, trend analysis and reporting.

(b) Providing capacity building and an enabling environment for developing countries to further develop and improve their monitoring and assessment functions.

This idea of capacity as a platform for performance is central to the rationale for capacity assessment (although the term used here is capacity for performance, the criteria based approach can be applied to other dimensions of performance, such as quality, as well).

(b) Breaking the Waves Assessment of the Buffering Capacity of Mangroves and Coral Reefs is a response to the Indian Ocean tsunami.

In both cases, the presence of transparent guidelines and frameworks for analysis and assessment of the capacity of public administration is useful.

Vulnerability components, risk intensity and response capacity, with their particular indicators, form the basis for the integral assessment of land degradation and poverty.

The Meeting noted that the Division of Early Warning and Assessment of UNEP had a Scientific Assessment Branch that produced global, regional and thematic assessments and reports, such as the Global Environment Outlook, as well as sections dealing with ecosystems, the global environment outlook and capacity building and partnership.

To the contrary, criteria based assessment examines capacity from the perspective of whatever context and set of resources exist and asks, given a particular set of circumstances, Which choices and objectives did the government pursue and did those choices contribute to or constrain longer term capacity?

The need for increased activities in the areas of resource management and assessment, monitoring, control and surveillance and capacity building at the national and regional levels was underlined by some delegations.

The same groups of countries will also benefit from technical services related to capacity for market access and conformity assessment through the application of the industrial competitiveness and trade service programme components.

Information dissemination should target particularly farmers and local communities (e.g., information on identification and assessment of appropriate technology to enhance their capacity to capture and use endogenous technologies), the media and politicians.

In addition, some international interlocutors indicated to the assessment mission that the enhancement of the capacity of the security sector was being hampered by lack of strategic financial management by the Government.

A Division of Regional Operations with an enhanced threat and risk assessment capacity and a round the clock communications centre will strengthen the ability of the United Nations to ensure its own security.

Although many Parties provided information on the institutional arrangements that had been established to carry out vulnerability and adaptation assessment, many of these institutions lacked the capacity and resources to fully engage in such work.

This requires the reinforcement of its capacity to develop and maintain an in depth understanding of the trade and development challenges specific to those countries and to spearhead appropriate needs assessment and programme design activities.
