Using the Appreciative Inquiry 5D Model, the study focused on what works best for capacity-building in The Gambia, thus building on past studies which exclusively used a deficit approach to examine capacitybuilding. The study supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2015-2030 by exploring the underlying factors that could contribute attainment of these goals in The Gambia. The study used a qualitative case study approach focusing on ten leaders of public institutions in The Gambia. The Theory of Action and Dominated Theory (theoretical framework) and the Appreciative Inquiry’s 5D Model (analytical framework) were used to guide the methodological design and analysis of study data. Findings revealed The Gambia’s public service has the institutional structures, policies, plans, and approaches needed for capacity-building to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and could share these best practices within The Gambia and among developing countries. 2021-06-02 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1617365947816379 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1617365947816379 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
