This FAO learning module is part of a series designed to strengthen Capacity Development (CD) in agricultural and development programming. It provides practical guidance, processes, and tools to help practitioners incorporate effective capacity-focused strategies into projects and programmes. The content supports FAO staff, partners, and stakeholders in assessing existing capacities, identifying gaps, setting clear objectives, and designing interventions that enhance sustainable capacities at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels. The module emphasizes engagement with national and local actors, context analysis, participatory design, and monitoring of capacity outcomes — all aimed at improving long-term development results.
