Current Affairs - International - Discussion

India partnered with the United Nations to launch the Global Capacity Building Initiative aimed at supporting countries in the Global South to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The first tranche included four projects and was a collaborative effort between India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and various UN agencies. This initiative builds on India's long-standing ITEC programme, which already provides over 12,000 training slots to around 160 countries. By combining India’s developmental outreach with the UN’s global framework, the initiative aims to enhance technical and professional skills in developing countries, strengthening international cooperation and capacity-building efforts.
