    The document discusses different approaches to understanding capacity levels - including those from UNDP/CADRI, Sida, and the author's own approach. While the approaches categorize capacity levels differently, they largely focus on similar aspects like knowledge/skills, organization, rules/policies, and social norms. An effective capacity development project should include activities addressing each relevant level, as seen in the Armenia example, to create ripple effects of change across complexity. Understanding each capacity level and their connections is more important than how one categorizes them.
