"Le terme "renforcement des capacités" est entré dans le langage courant durant le développement international du vingt-et-unième siècle. Alors que ce terme a une signification différente pour différentes personnes, il est souvent utilisé pour décrire une infusion de connaissances ou de compétences pour contribuer à la création d'un gouvernement ou institution capable de répondre aux défis majeurs liés au développement. Toutefois, comme d'autres interventions bien intentionnées de l'Ouest industrialisé, un tel "renforcement des capacités" peut avoir un effet autant destructeur que productif. Ce volume problématise de telles activités et présente une autre façon de promouvoir la construction de capacité dans le cadre du développement. Le volume commence par une exploration du concept de renforcement des capacités et se concentre ensuite sur deux exemples de promotion de capacités pour l'éducation, les soins et le développement de la petite enfance (DPE). Le Programme de Partenariats des Premières Nations (PPPN), un programme d'éducation postsecondaire innovateur et efficace lancé en 1989 à la demande d'un grand conseil tribal dans le nord du Canada, a mené à 10 apports éducatifs dans diverses communautés autochtones au cours des vingt ans qui ont suivis. Le deuxième programme, lancé en 1994 à la demande du siège de l'UNICEF, met l'accent sur l'Afrique subsaharienne. Alors que le programme inclut toute une gamme d'activités qui concernent la promotion de capacités, le vecteur central pour ce travail de développement est l'Université Virtuelle pour le Développement de la Petite-Enfance (UVDPE), un programme créé en 2001 et maintenant en phase de transition vers les universités africaines. Ce livre décrit des approches pour la promotion de capacité qui répondent aux complexités et aux possibilités des communautés - au niveau local ainsi que national. Ces initiatives défient le discours actuel en ce qui concerne le développent dans le cadre du DPE et du développement international et, ce faisant, fournit d'autres moyens de renforcer les capacités pour les chercheurs et les professionnels dans le DPE, l'éducation, et le vaste domaine du développement international"--BC Campus website.
