This Praxis Paper depicts how French NGOs perceive the notion of capacity building, and how they apply the concept in practice – both in their own organisations and in the South. An introduction to the large and diverse French NGO sector and its changing relationship with the State is followed by a mapping of French capacity building providers as well as a synthesis of current capacity building needs, trends and challenges in France and in the South, as expressed by a sample of French NGOs.
