such gripes and can point to cases where capacity building would have
worked far better than simply writing a check for grant money. </p>

fact that funding is also necessary but neither is an exact substitute for
the other<br>

Thanks David.. and you will be missed. It was good to have so many
people from NCUC there last year. I will also really miss having
Carlos Afonso.. the participants really enjoyed learning from the
Brazilian experience.<br>
<br>
On the other hand I am really pleased that we have such a strong
contingent of African faculty and resource people joining us this
year.<br>
<br>
We often talk about building capacity in IG, and I generally get
irritated when it is used in ways that I find politically
patronising (when used as a way of dealing with developing country
gripes).<br>
<br>
We don't spend nearly enough time, either as civil society, or as
Africans - in this instance - acknowledging how much capacity we
already have.<br>
