| The Capacity Development Team - Arab States |
| WHAT IS CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT? |
UNDP defines capacity as "the ability of individuals, institutions and societies to perform functions, solve problems, and set and achieve objectives in a sustainable manner."
Capacity Development (CD) is thereby "the process through which individuals, organizations and societies obtain, strengthen and maintain the capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time."
Who is the CD Team?
The Capacity Development (CD) Team for Arab States is a team that functions under the umbrella of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Capacity Development Group/Bureau of Development Policy (BDP); which is co-hosted in the UNDP Sub-Regional Resource Facility-Arab States (SURF_AS), Beirut, Lebanon.
The CD Team is a dynamic group that, based on demand from national partners, offers a series of policy statements and services offerings in support of capacity development efforts at the regional and county levels.
The CD Team conducts research, piloting, validating and codifying CD empirical evidences and provides design and technical backstopping of CD inputs into UNDP’s regular programming.
The CD Team for Arab States, along with its growing team of permanent staff and specialized consultants, was established in November 2004. Since its inception, it has been busy communicating with the UNDP Country Offices specialists, identifying global tools and methodologies for capacity development and assessment, as well as regional partners to deliver its particular objectives in the service of achieving the MDGs.
The CDT supports national capacity development efforts towards achieving sustainable Human, the MDGs and other country-specific development priorities. It also focuses on capacity development of government and civil society organizations on strategic planning of socioeconomic development plans, political and economic empowerment, and sustainable human development.
