This guide forms part of SIWI’s work to offer a range of capacity development tools, services and opportunities to low and middle-income countries around the world. It is also contributing to international agendas of accelerating the implementation of the SDG 6, the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk reduction, through capacity development.

This document is intended to provide water practitioners with a stepwise approach for intervening in capacity development programs. Practitioners are defined as water professionals implementing practical interventions in the sector, as opposed to performing academic or research work. Practitioners may play different roles in different stages of the process described in this guide: such as design the development of the intervention, support certain aspects of it, or facilitate some sections.

This guide is built both from literature review, consultation with experts and experiences on the ground. The design and testing of this guide drew upon specific examples from the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and the Water Resources Management (WRM) fields.
