Capacity Sharing
Overview
We will drive a culture shift towards more equal and healthier partnerships for capacity sharing between and among CGIAR and partners advancing food, land, and water systems transformation, placing a strong emphasis on gender equality, women’s empowerment, and youth inclusion.
We will integrate innovative approaches in data, digital tools, scaling strategies, and soft-skills programs to build capacities among partners and within CGIAR, working across local, national, regional, and global contexts. This will address the fragmented, top-down, Global North-driven approach which has shaped the traditional capacity development in agricultural research.

Challenges
Challenges we’ll address
- Necessity of skills and knowledge required to equitably drive transformational change to address pressing global challenges – such as demographic shifts, environmental degradation, climate change, geopolitical instability, rising inequalities, and advances in frontier technologies
- Demand to accelerate the transfer, acquisition, sharing, and retention of essential capacities, particularly among partners in the Global South
- An obligation to shift culture toward the decolonization of science in food, land, and water systems
