Who we are
As part of its core function, the global CCCM Cluster supports capacity building by offering trained trainers access to a dedicated community of practice. This platform strengthens knowledge sharing, promotes peer-to-peer learning, and helps shape evolving strategies in Camp Management. These initiatives equip field colleagues to adapt to changing contexts and inform the development of new tools and priorities for CCCM capacity development.
The Capacity Development Working Group (CDWG) aims to support the CCCM cluster to develop technical and operational capacity of CCCM practitioners and other relevant actors according to the Global Strategy 2025-2029 and priorities, and ensure objectives are fulfilled efficiently and effectively, demonstrating high performance and quality results.
Overall Objectives
To provide exchange between trainers on learning needs, best approaches, new resources, and tested methods with focus on strengthening CCCM operational capacity, coordination, and tools.
To provide a forum for driving the CCCM Cluster to develop new capacity building initiatives, exchange information, and knowledge in the area of CCCM learning initiatives.

Capacity Development Working group in 2024
The Capacity Development Working group (CDWG) led a breakout session at the CCCM Global Annual Meeting, addressing common capacity-building challenges while engaging new members and showcasing trainer expertise. During the event, the WG compiled and shared case studies on environmental practices to promote sustainability in camp management. In coordination with the ABA working group, it provided input to new training materials. A global Learning Needs Assessment was launched to identify priority areas for capacity strengthening. Looking ahead, CDWG will collaborate with the CE Forum on a new training package to enhance site managers' role in community participation and expand training resources.
