While various reasons could be cited for this circumstance, it is clear that some attention needs to be paid to building an effective response. One such response is to increase the capacity of existing leaders to adapt to a new and changing environment by providing them with new skills and strategies that will ensure the sustainability of their organizations. In this context, CPDC has sought to undertake leadership capacity building workshops.
