Past and Present Capacity Building in the Chinese Context

Over the past several years, the Foundation has explored supporting sustainable marine resource management in China. Seeking to answer the question “what capacity building interventions in China can produce the capacity required to drive sustainable marine resource management and conservation,” the Foundation supported a research project to highlight current and past successful capacity building models. This document is a synthesis of this research that examines four models of interest: partnership models, learning networks, government think tanks, and foundation-funded capacity building interventions. The full discussion paper on learning networks can be found here.
