Cairo Consensus on Capacity Development: Call to Action

The Cairo Workshop on Capacity Development: from Concepts to Implementation was held in Cairo, Egypt, on 28-29 March 2011.  Participants reviewed progress and shortcomings since Accra, particularly focusing on challenges faced in making the concept and key principles of capacity development more operational.  The meeting produced a Cairo Consensus on Capacity Development: Call to Action calling for a demand-driven, results-focused, and country-owned approach building on existing capacity.
