Strategic Capacity Group

SCG assists donor countries to enhance the sustainability and impact of their foreign assistance approaches. Our mission is to enhance the ability of the United States and its partners to build strategic security sector capacity worldwide.

SCG’s strategic capacity building approach focuses on enhancing institutional accountability and effectiveness, and strengthening human capacity to design, implement, and lead change.

Capacity building is a strategic function. It occurs when knowledge is embedded in processes and institutions that can be shared and disseminated over time and replicated by the recipient even after assistance ends. When assistance is provided through a strategic capacity building approach, it enhances the likelihood of impactful and sustainable results.
