Building Health Promotion Capacity explores the professional practice of health promotion, and the means through which individuals and organizations become more effective in supporting and undertaking such practice. The concepts of "capacity" and "capacity-building" are used to structure this exploration. Simply put, capacity refers to those qualities or characteristics that enable people to do something.The book is based on the experiences of the Building Health Promotion Capacity Project (1998-2003), a continuing education and applied research initiative affiliated with the Saskatchewan Heart Health Program. This project was designed to study the process of capacity development through taking action to enhance the health promotion capacity of practitioners and regional health districts in Saskatchewan.
