Capacity Building
Capacity Enhancement
Capacity involves the ability to generate knowledge on emerging medium-term horizontal issues within the federal government,
the ability to detect and assimilate knowledge from external sources and the ability to use a wide variety of tools to address these issues.
Capacity enhancement includes:
- Collaborative exercises with selected groups (i.e., United States think-tanks, the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC))
to explore medium-term horizontal issues;
- Collaborative initiatives for the development of a Policy Research Community of Practice; and
- Enhanced research infrastructure through the Policy Research Data Group.
