Capacity

A first step to develop a peer leadership programme focused on CPP is to analyse your organisation’s current capacity.  File The Capacity Analysis Tool (CAT) was developed by the Sport for Social Change Network (SSCN). The SSCN was an initiative co-convened by CARE and Nike to enhance the sustainability of sport for development organisations.  The CAT includes a checklist of generic organisational capabilities, to which we have added a cost per participant (CPP) focused metric.

  • Leadership, Governance and Strategy. Do you have a practice and policy to involve current or former participants in leadership, governance and strategy?
