What is CapSha?
Capacity Sharing for Development (CapSha) Knowledge House
A CGIAR collaborative platform grounded in a simple but powerful idea: capacity development works best as a two-way exchange.
Capacity Sharing for Development (CapSha) connects people, ideas, and innovation across CGIAR and the Global South, strengthening the capacities of individuals, institutions, and systems to achieve sustainable food, land, and water solutions.
CapSha, CGIAR’s Capacity Sharing Accelerator, serves as a bridge between science, practice, and partnership by enabling shared learning, digital collaboration, and inclusive approaches to capacity development. It brings together CGIAR centers, National Agricultural Research Systems (NARIS), universities, development partners, and other stakeholders to better align capacity supply and demand across the system.
The Challenges
- Existing capacity resources are fragmented and spread across numerous disparate systems and platforms.
- Partners struggle to easily find, access, and align with relevant CGIAR capacity opportunities.
- Lack of visibility leads to significant duplication of work across various CGIAR Centers and programs.
- Traditional capacity development flows are still heavily dominated by top-down models, limiting true mutual learning.
