Visibility Materials-Strengthening Adaptation Capacities and Minimizing Risk of Vulnerable Coastal Communities (CapCoast)

The CapCoast project builds knowledge and strengthens the local capacities to assess, plan and respond to climate change related threats.

The project focuses on reducing the vulnerabilities of coastal communities in two severely affected Indian states Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh by reducing their exposure and sensitivity to climate risks and increasing their adaptive capacity. The visibility materials consist of project brochure, poster and fact sheets.

Capacity building involves much more though than just conducting training courses and workshops. It implies a multi level system to develop networks, institutional systems, organisations and individuals. Without awareness, without a basis for new approaches, and without better skills for using new tools and instruments in urban planning, industrial development, environmental governance, disaster preparedness and consumer protection, development for sustainability cannot be achieved.

The Human Resource Development (HRD) platform is a webbased system with tools to support the planning, implementation, delivery and monitoring of large-scale capacity development programmes. Staff at a key training institution use the HRD platform to manage their programmes.
GIZ offers an additional institutional development service package to complement the HRD platform and foster smooth implementation. This package includes staff trainings and advisory services in the areas of quality control, workflow design and capacity building management.
