Capacity Development

Knowledge

Traditionally, knowledge has been fostered at the level of the individual, mostly through education. But it can also be created and shared within an organisation, for example, through vocational training or a knowledge management system, backed by an organisational learning strategy. At the level of society, knowledge generation is supported by the development of education systems and educational policy reform.

2. Facilitation of partnerships for investment in reforming university and technical education and improving its quality to strengthen the foundation for long-term capacity development.
3. Advocacy for the development of training and learning methodologies for continued learning, for example, in-service civil service training.
