The document discusses key considerations for effective capacity building, including increasing demand and use of data, fostering strong institutions and data processes, pursuing independent and empowering governance structures, building partnerships, and establishing multi-year financing. It defines capacity building as improving performance at individual, organizational and system levels through participation, building on local capacities, learning and long-term investments. Effective capacity building is achieved through well-defined programs with agreed objectives and benchmarks, expert visits, workshops, and South-South cooperation where countries learn from each other's experiences.
