Capacity building refers to the process of enhancing the abilities, skills, knowledge, resources, and competencies of individuals, groups, organizations, and communities so that they can effectively perform functions, solve problems, and achieve sustainable development goals. In the context of Community Sciences and Community Development, it focuses on empowering communities to become self-reliant, participatory, and capable of addressing their own socio-economic and environmental challenges. It is not a one-time activity but a continuous and dynamic process that strengthens human capital, institutional frameworks, and social systems. One of the basic principles of capacity building is participation, which emphasizes the involvement of community members in decision-making processes. When people actively participate, they develop a sense of ownership and responsibility toward development initiatives. Another important principle is empowerment, which aims to enhance the confidence and autonomy of individuals, especially marginalized groups such as women, youth, and rural populations, enabling them to take control of their own development. Sustainability is also a key principle, ensuring that the benefits of capacity building are long-lasting and continue even after external support is withdrawn. Context specificity
