Capacity building is key to the advance of health care in the developing world, but capacity building can take several forms, and it is not yet clear which forms and funding models are most effective. The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) has developed and sustained a portfolio of global outreach programs that make a unique contribution at low cost to the appropriate training and continuing support of nephrologists throughout the developing world. We describe the programs and present encouraging findings of their outcomes. Finally, we reflect on how the ISN interventions and evaluations measure up against recommended approaches in the literature and consider lessons for ISN and other organizations involved in planning, evaluating, and benchmarking similar programs.
能力建设是发展中世界医疗保健进步的关键，但能力建设可以采取多种形式，目前尚不清楚哪种形式和资助模式最为有效。国际肾脏病学会（ISN）已制定并维持了一系列全球推广项目，这些项目以低成本为发展中世界各地的肾脏病学家提供适当培训和持续支持做出了独特贡献。我们描述了这些项目，并展示了其成果的令人鼓舞的发现。最后，我们思考ISN的干预措施和评估如何与文献中推荐的方法相比较，并考虑ISN和其他参与规划、评估和为类似项目设定基准的组织可以吸取的经验教训。
