Global Digital Capacity Building Alliance (GDCBA)

The Global Digital Capacity Building Alliance (GDCBA), an initiative of the Capacity Building Commission (CBC), Government of India, completes six months on 20th August. 

Launched on 20th February, 2026 at the India AI Impact Summit, New Delhi, the Alliance has grown into a platform for international cooperation on public-sector capacity building, bringing together governments, multilateral and development institutions, training institutions, academia, industry, civil society, the DPI ecosystem and public-sector practitioners to exchange knowledge and strengthen capacity in an era of rapid change. 

The Alliance builds on Mission Karmayogi, India’s National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building, which demonstrated the value of competency-based learning, digital infrastructure and a whole-of-government approach at national scale — establishing that capacity building is not only about training individuals, but about creating the frameworks, institutions and platforms that enable officials to continuously learn and perform. 

The Alliance’s four goals are to strengthen institutional capability across public-sector systems, support evidence-informed capacity-building decisions, foster a global community of practice for governance, and build a repository of implementation knowledge, case studies and practical guidance. 

Together, these goals position GDCBA as a global platform for cooperation and knowledge exchange, built around a broad partnership model — recognising that public officials’ capacity is shaped not only by training, but by the wider learning, institutional and digital ecosystems in which they work.
