# 5.10 Capacity Strengthening

Identifying **capacity gaps** and providing (demand-driven) **training and capacity strengthening opportunities** to FSC members, especially to national and local actors, is a core function of the cluster and not least an important deliverable for any FSC Coordinator. When relevant the Coordinator can develop a **‘capacity strengthening plan’** for the FSC by working with partners to assess and identify the key capacity needs and act to fill it in the most effective way possible. The Coordinator should include a financial requirement for trainings/capacity building initiatives in the FSC budget to be presented to donors. *See more on this under* [*3.7*](/cc/docs/37-training-and-capacity-strengthening-of-partners-and-national-authorities) *on Training and Capacity Strengthening of Partners and National Authorities and* [*10.3*](/cc/docs/103-localisation) *on Localisation.*
