Interviews with sixteen communities or countries<ref name="Interview list" /> (predominantly in the Global South) surfaced seven community capacities for development, based on the strengths, challenges or needs reported by those communities. TheThis Community Capacity Development Frameworkreport aims to define these seven capacities - to create a common vocabulary for future discussions - as well as to provide a non-exhaustive list of example actions for building these capacities:

This report is part of a phased approach to capacity development, where this report focuses on identifying and documenting key areas for development; it does '''not''' focus on building out a comprehensive list of solutions or next steps. Instead, the next phase will be to create separate, on-wiki spaces for each capacity, in which community members and WMF may discuss and clarify central problems, existing solutions (from other communities), and potential future work (e.g. research, trainings, facilitated meetings, etc.). As such, this framework will serve as the basis for deeper discussions across communities, and with specific communities. Moreover, while these seven capacities were identified after interviews with certain communities, the capacities and their future associated resources may be relevant across many wiki communities.

'''We invite your feedback on this framework!''' Please add your comments/questions to the talk page. If you’d like to engage further or keep updated, please add your name on the [[m:Community Capacity Development Framework|framework main page]].
