CAPACITY BUILDING: WHY? • CO-TAMP and TAMP: Very high potential to support evidencebased planning at Danube, national, regional and local levels; • However: understanding, uptake and committment are needed! Capacity Building (CB): pivotal action for improved governance and increased capacities of stakeholders for tackling territorial development challenges in the Danube Region, specifically valorization of attractiveness and territorial capital. 4. 7. 2018

BETTER POLICY MAKING! • „Capacity building encompasses the country’s human, scientific, technological, organizational, institutional and resource capabilities. • A fundamental goal of capacity building is to enhance the ability to evaluate and address the crucial questions related to policy choices and modes of implementation among development options, based on an understanding of environment potentials and limits and of needs perceived by the people of the country concerned". Capacity Building - Agenda 21’s definition, Chapter 37, UNCED, 1992
