Capacity Building
Capacity building is a core part of DAD’s work to strengthen individuals and institutions
involved in research, education, and development. Through learning-oriented activities, DAD
supports the development of skills, Publications, and professional practice across academic
and public sectors.
DAD’s approach to capacity building emphasizes relevance, practical application, and
institutional learning. Activities are designed to respond to real needs and to complement
research and Events initiatives.

How Capacity Building Happens
DAD delivers capacity building through a range of formats that encourage participation, reflection, and practical learning.
These formats allow DAD to adapt learning activities to different audiences and institutional contexts.
From Learning to Practice
Capacity building at DAD is closely connected to research and Events. Learning activities draw on research findings and feed into Events platforms, ensuring that skills development supports evidence-informed practice and institutional strengthening.
This integrated approach helps translate Publications into action and supports continuous learning across DAD’s work areas.
Working With DAD
DAD collaborates with institutions, partners, and individuals through research initiatives, Events platforms, capacity development, and advisory support, guided by shared objectives and a commitment to evidence-informed practice.
