So you can move forward

The first piece is a resource to help with reflection, planning, recruitment and capacity building for your organisation or initiative. For this and more, click here.

This knowledge has been brought together in a new CLD Capability Framework for Aotearoa. Have a look and see how you might use it to help with reflection, planning, recruitment and capacity building for your organisation or initiative.
