Abstract Capacity-building has been a topic in health promotion literature for several years. In our previous article, we discussed community capacity-building as both means and end in health promotion work, and reviewed seven theoretical and empirical models of community capacity which provide a total of nine separate capacity domains. In this article we discuss the parallel-tracking of community capacity-building in health promotion program planning, implementation and evaluation, and describe workshop methodologies for incorporating capacity assessments within health promotion program planning. We conclude with a discussion of measurement options for community capacity-building.
