The document discusses capacity development within the CGIAR and proposes a renewed strategy. It defines capacity development as the process by which people and organizations develop and strengthen their abilities to manage their affairs successfully. The locus of capacity development within CGIAR will move to the CRPs to provide more hands-on, participatory training and testing of new methodologies to partners. This implies more innovative, differentiated approaches to capacity strengthening that are tied to knowledge management and learning by doing.

14. The locus for capacity development within the CGIAR moves within the CRPs as a support function to the different types of research partnerships. The nature of the capacity strengthening will expand from imparting research skills to include more learning-by-doing, testing of new methodologies and participatory approaches, often building on a base of new knowledge. This implies more innovative approaches to capacity strengthening, often tied to more effective knowledge management, and much more differentiated approaches. (CGIAR SRF, 2011)
