The document discusses capacity development for open data and innovation to achieve zero hunger. It emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary and local inputs in capacity development programs. Training programs should focus on reducing digital divides so that researchers in developing countries can benefit from available resources. Examples of capacity building tools that were highlighted include GODAN AgriGIS workshops, Agrosphere, and AgPack. Open tools and resources like OSGeo Live were also mentioned to allow testing of geospatial software without installation.

• How can we build Capacity Development synergies to ensure Zero Hunger for all? • Need for multidisciplinary inputs as well as local practices into the capacity development process. • The training programs and platforms used should be focussed on reducing digital divides so that researchers in developing countries can also benefit. Why?
• Inclusive – for all levels from students to those without formal education • Empowerment • Lowering the barriers • Spread Awareness on available resources • Building partnerships and synergies with like minded organisations Capacity development
