How it works

The Caja de Herramientas para el Desarrollo de Capacidades is the capacity-development toolbox produced by the Red de Organizaciones para el Desarrollo (ROP) - a coalition of Peruvian civil-society organisations that publish practitioner materials for community capacity-building [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]. The toolbox is the Spanish-language practitioner counterpart to the Latin-American community-organising curriculum that has grown out of the Peruvian and Bolivian social-movement scenes, and is one of the standard reference sets for Andean community-development practitioners [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]. The 1999 snapshot recovered from the Wayback Machine shows the ROP site’s early stage, with the network rolling out its first digital publications for community organisations [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades].
Coverage: the toolbox covers community diagnosis, base-building, organisational planning, project design, monitoring and evaluation, advocacy, and communications - each with worked examples from the Andean and Latin-American community-development context [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]. The toolbox is structured as a downloadable tool-pack rather than a sequential text, so a community-organisation practitioner can pick the tool they need for the moment rather than reading front-to-back [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]. The ROP network continues to publish updates under successive digital platforms, and the Wayback Machine snapshots are the verifiable historical record of the early editions [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades].
A campaigner reaches for it when designing a Spanish-language community-organising curriculum in the Andean tradition, when looking up historical practitioner tools from the late 1990s wave of community-capacity-building, or when sourcing ROP’s frame for a community-development grant [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]. Treat as link-only. [source: caja-herramientas-desarrollo-capacidades]
