Capacity Sharing

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.

Africa, Asia, South America

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
