Capacity Development is a major focus of the World Bank, as the Bank and its clients work together to help adapt global knowledge to local needs. More than 20 percent of the Bank's lending and a majority of non-lending services are now directly focused on capacity building activities. Working closely with various units in the Bank, the World Bank Institute (WBI), has helped deliver country-tailored programs, knowledge products, and services aimed at building capacity in target countries.
Over the last few years, various innovative knowledge instruments, tools, and approaches to capacity development have emerged throughout the Bank.

The Capacity Development Resource Center (CDRC), part of the World Bank Institute, showcases the Bank’s cutting-edge work on capacity development, highlighting country and sector-wide approaches focused on results.
Drawing from specific country lending and non-lending interventions, the CDRC shares WBI and Bank-wide experiences on capacity development. In addition, the resource center disseminates successful practices at the sectoral level, highlighting newly developed instruments and approaches to tackling sector-wide challenges. The CDRC aims to compile working papers, recent literature, strategy notes, and diagnostics related to capacity development. We also link to international and local capacity development agencies and other capacity development knowledge sources.
The CDRC works closely with the Regional Capacity Enhancement Team (RCET) to integrate its work with Bank operations. RCET collaborates with regional and country teams and with WBI thematic teams to develop and deliver sustained capacity development in targeted countries. The team is responsible for designing and overseeing implementation of WBI’s country-focused approach to capacity development.
