Capacity Building in Developing Countries: Foundations, Practices, and Implications for Sustainable Development

Abstract

Capacity building is a cornerstone of sustainable development, strengthening the skills, knowledge, and institutions of individuals, organizations, and communities in developing contexts. This article examines the transformative potential of capacity building through global case studies, demonstrating its role in empowerment, resilience, organizational efficiency, and economic growth. Emphasizing strategies such as training, resource mobilization, and governance reform, the paper argues that capacity building reduces dependency on aid while supporting long-term, locally owned development outcomes.
