Capacity 2000 Plus, Competency-based Community Skills Development

The notion of workforce education holds much promise for dealing with the lack of skilled human resources on the one hand, and shortage of employment opportunities on the other. The Capacity 2000 workshop, held in Namibia in 1997, was successful in accomplishing the formation of an advisory council to guide and develop the improvement of competency-based skills training. This workshop report has been reproduced in order to make the concept and potential impact of workforce training more widely available.
