Capacity building is at the heart of FAO's mandate. This Portal contributes to achieving FAO's vision to strengthen the national capacities of its member states to achieve their goals in food security and agricultural development.

FAO's CB Portal is designed to help FAO's partners, member states and other international, national and local development actors to access knowledge, information, training tools, good practices, and services in Capacity Building in FAO's mandate areas.

Through its learning resources and learning services, the Portal addresses the needs of a broad spectrum of actors in rural communities, in organizations and institutions, and at policy level.
