"The OECD-DAC definitions are used:
- Capacity: understood as the ability of people, organisations and society as a whole to manage their affairs successfully.
-
Capacity development: the process by which individuals, groups and organisations, institutions and countries develop, enhance and organise their systems, resources and knowledge; all reflected in their abilities, individually and collectively, to perform functions, solve problems and achieve objective
Such DAC definitions build on the UNDP’s definition “Capacity development [is] the process by which individuals, groups, organisations, institutions and countries develop their abilities, individually and collectively, to perform functions, solve problems and achieve objectives”"
