Capacity Building for better cities is the effort to strengthen and improve the abilities of personnel and organizations to be able to perform their tasks in a more effective, efficient and sustainable manner. It needs to be appreciated that capacity building is a long term and ongoing effort which needs to be institutionalized in the planning and implementation process starting from the ULB to state to the central level programs. Capacity Building needs to be a continuous and ongoing initiative whose aim is to improve and facilitate the skill sets and processes involving human and other perceivable inputs. There is a need to calibrate and benchmark continuously against measurable indicators over a period of time in order to make course corrections to achieve the desired results. The objective of the Capacity Building programme as emphasized are:

• Professionalizing urban management through creation of a municipal cadre, city managers who can manage and govern cities especially in urban planning, E-governance / IT, municipal infrastructure and service delivery.
• Enhancing capacities/supply side/agencies to provide state of the art skills and resources to meet required demands of city managers and associated agencies thereby enhancing their capacities to improve city management, governance reforms, municipal infrastructure and service delivery.
• Institutionalize the use of appropriate tools and processes to enable better planning and implementation of municipal infrastructure, service delivery and governance reforms.
