Nätverksarbete har växts sig allt starkare under de senaste trettio åren i Sverige. Arbetet syftar till att se individen i sin helhet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur socialsekreterare och klienter vid barn- och ungdomsenheten i en specifik kommun upplever deltagande i nätverksmöten. Syftet är även att undersöka vilka positiva och negativa aspekter gällande nätverksmöten som socialsekreterare samt klienter lyfter fram. Metoden som använts för att besvara syftet är kvalitativ. Tre socialsekretare och tre klienter har intervjuats på socialtjänsten i den specifika kommunen. Ett frivillighets- samt ett bekvämlighetsurval har använts. Resultatet visar att ingen av respondenterna i nuläget är helt nöjda med nätverksmöten som arbetsform. De har olika förslag på vad som saknas och vad som kan förbättras. Exempelvis önskar en klient mer tjänstemannamöten och en socialsekreterare eftersöker större möjlighet till analys av alternativa möjligheter till hjälp och förbättring av klientens nuvarande situation. Slutsatsen som dras i studien är att tjänstemannamöten är att föredra för att försöka få så goda resultat som möjligt. / Networking has grown steadily stronger during the last thirty years in Sweden.

For example, a client wishes more official meetings and a social worker looking for more opportunity for analysis of alternative sources of help and improvement of the client's current situation. The conclusion reached in this study is that official meetings are preferable to try to get as good results as possible.

The focused of this study is the role of capacity building in Community Home Based Care (CHBC) for HIV/AIDS patients. The study forms part of my Master's in Development Administration programme, undertaken through UNISA. The dissertation was accomplished by studying the TASO community initiative in Sseeta-Nazigo, Mukono District, Uganda. It explores the concept of capacity building and its applicability to CHBC. The primacy data was gathered by conducting Key Infonnant Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The secondary data was gathered by reviewing literature to augment the primary data. In addition, data was gathered through observations within the community. The fmdings have identified seven critical components of capacity building: community mobilisation, skills development, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT), networking and collaboration, support and supervision, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). The study observed that capacity built in the above areas resulted in three outcomes: skills development, improvement in procedures, and institutional development.
