Abstract

The chapter delves into the challenges local government units face in building community knowledge, expanding resources, and promoting cooperation. It emphasizes the importance of capacity development as an ongoing process involving collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. The study focuses on two women administrators in Mauban, Philippines, using Symbolic Interactionism to analyze their capacity building initiatives. Through interviews, the authors explore how these initiatives contribute to understanding capacity building as a knowledge creation process towards building a sustainable learning community. The chapter highlights the roles of different community sectors and capacity providers in achieving well-coordinated and equitable capacity development. It also discusses the unique contributions of women leaders in fostering sustainable and resilient communities, despite existing gender biases. The study identifies seven attributes that contribute to the success of women-led capacity building initiatives, providing valuable insights for municipalities and institutions engaged in building sustainable communities.
