An invitation-only National Symposium on Building Capacity in Health and Learning was hosted by the Health and Learning Knowledge Centre (HLKC), at the University of Victoria, May 7-9, 2008. HLKC invited national NGO and professional organizations, research networks, key researchers, and practitioners to join a conversation on how "Capacity Counts".

The intent was to offer an opportunity for exchange of respective knowledge on capacity building approaches, to advance the capacity building knowledge agenda, and to set the stage for continuing this work on a national basis.

Specifically, the goals of the Symposium were to:

Describe what we know about building and sustaining more coordinated, cost effective and accessible health, education and learning systems;
Discuss common challenges/issues and future directions for research in capacity building;
Strengthen local and national networks associated with specific capacity building health education and learning systems in general; and
Identify opportunities and activities that can enhance knowledge exchange and development about capacity building approaches.
