For UNU, Capacity Development means strengthening of competences of individuals, organizations and societies. Through training measures in the field of e-learning , people acquire skills and competences to use resources effectively, efficiently and in a sustainable manner – for example in higher education. The establishment of an e-learning centre at the University Yaoundé I in Cameroon as well as the creation of learning materials for the Master Programme “Integrated Watershed Management” in East Africa are good illustrations of the potential of e-learning to improve access to knowledge and education. All these pilot projects are based on a participatory, collaborative and regional-oriented approach from which not only individuals, but also higher education institutions benefit. The Vice Rectorate helps partner institutions to identify the potential of innovative learning technology and to become more effective organizations.
