•OnlineHow to Create Sustainable Economic Growth through Capacity Building
OnlineIn emerging markets, capacity building is essential for overcoming development challenges. Yet, despite heavy investments in training, many institutions struggle to convert knowledge into impactful action. This session will explore how to shift from one-off training to continuous, system-wide capacity building that supports long-term economic growth.
Through real-world examples and innovative partnerships, we’ll examine how governments, businesses, and universities are overcoming barriers like limited access to global markets and inadequate capital. The session will focus on creating the systems, networks, and support structures needed for local talent to thrive and compete globally.
