Capacity Building
Also known as: Research Capacity Building, Capability Development
The process of developing and strengthening the skills, resources, and infrastructure that enable individuals, communities, and organizations to carry out research, develop technologies, and advocate for their needs effectively. In accessibility, capacity building involves training local researchers and practitioners in the Global South, supporting disabled people's organizations to conduct their own research, and creating sustainable partnerships between institutions across borders that share knowledge and resources equitably.
