Meeting a community goal requires increased community capacity to identify and carry out management solutions.

Citizens or stakeholders have the knowledge and skills needed to take actions themselves or contribute constructive ideas and relevant information to a group effort.

Evaluate quality of stakeholder knowledge and skills about potential management solutions. Evaluate effectiveness of community participation and involvement. Revise and adapt communication or training activities in response to findings. Use teaching techniques to build skills among all people responsible for stakeholder involvement (policy makers, groups, etc.).
