Its users include EU institution staff, as well as international cooperation professionals from EU member states, partner governments, civil society, NGOs, international organisations, and the private sector.

Created in 2009 and managed by the Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), Capacity4dev aims to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of EU interventions in external action by:

Facilitating collaboration and engagement among peers.
Enabling cross-learning among practitioners from EU institutions and other organisations.
Supporting thematic expertise, sharing lessons learnt, and exchanging innovative approaches.
Consolidating knowledge-sharing tools and communities of practice in a common environment.
