Capacity Building
We provide tools, connections and the global voice to keep the Girl Guide and Girl Scout Movement united and thriving.
This is the value that guided our work on the Capacity Building Framework.
Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT)
What is the Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT)?
WAGGGS has designed a Capacity Building Assessment Tool to support Member Organisations to understand their own organisational capacity as measured against an organisational capacity model and defined minimum standards of membership. The tool also assists the WAGGGS Global Team to identify what type of support is required to most effectively develop and grow each organisation, and to support the development of new and improved tailored services and products.
The CAT is made up of 5 sections and each section includes a number of standards and indicators.
How to Complete the CAT
The CAT provides a way to review, consolidate and measure progress. It is designed to be an empowering support for self-reflection, allowing for team-building and a holistic view of the organisation.
CAT Online Form Links
There are ten online CAT forms, one for Essential elements and one for Take it Further elements for each of the five sections of the CAT.
