Capacity Joint Table Advisory Committee
Under Phase I of the Voluntary Sector
Initiative (VSI), The Capacity Joint Table (CJT), for which Human
Resources Development Canada (HRDC) is the lead department, was
tasked with looking at three main areas of capacity related to
the voluntary sector:
- Skills Development and Recruitment
(human resources);
- Research and Information Sharing;
and
- Policy capacity.
The Table also supported a number of activities
of the sector-only Working Group on Financing.
Many of the resources from the Table are
now available.
The Table’s mandate ended in October
2002 and a smaller Advisory Committee
was struck by the Capacity Joint Table. The Advisory Committee’s
mandate is to provide
ongoing coordination and leadership to the CJT work until the
end of the VSI in 2005. This includes ensuring that the CJT projects
are linked to each other and to broader VSI activities.
The Capacity Joint Table Secretariat in
Human Resources Development Canada supports the work of the Advisory
Committee.The Secretariat is implementing
a strategy to disseminate
knowledge in a consolidated way about CJT products.
