The inter-university initiative CAPTURED: Bridging worldviews, ways of learning and ways of knowing

The main aim of the program is to develop the institutional capacity for universities and research centres to carry out strategic research and to develop university training and capacity building programs that strengthen Endogenous Development for poverty reduction. Endogenous Development is development based mainly, but not exclusively, on locally available resources, local knowledge, culture and leadership. It has an openness to modify indigenous and to integrate outside knowledge and practices. It has mechanisms for local learning and experimenting, building local economies and retention of benefits in the local area.
