What is Capacity Building? And Why Do Crisis-Affected Countries Need It?

Capacity building is the process of empowering individuals, institutions, and communities to develop their skills, knowledge, and tools, thereby enhancing their ability to face challenges and achieve sustainable development. This process gains even greater importance in countries affected by conflicts and disasters, such as Syria, Palestine, Yemen, and Sudan, where wars and crises lead to the erosion of educational institutions, the collapse of local markets, and the spread of unemployment.

In these environments, investing in human development becomes a top priority, starting with building digital and professional skills, moving through providing training and job opportunities, and culminating in supporting local entrepreneurs. These efforts contribute to creating alternative opportunities and restoring social and economic stability.

Aman Foundation is harnessing all its resources and expertise to build capacity-building programs tailored to the specific context of each local setting, and to provide a flexible and realistic learning environment that enhances individuals’ ability to be self-reliant.
