Training & Resources

May 2025

Dear Partners,

Over the last five years, our team has run more than 250 weekly capacity building sessions, partnered with over 60 expert trainers, and engaged with 7,000+ organizations from across the world throughout the duration of CZI’s capacity building program.

We want to thank each of you for engaging with our team and trainers with enthusiasm and curiosity over the course of this program. 

For our final month of programming in June, we are excitedly partnering with Rose Afriyie for sessions on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This series will guide your organization in the fundamentals of AI usage in your work.

CZI weekly training sessions are open to everyone and made accessible for individuals at all skill levels. All sessions are led in English with simultaneous Spanish interpretation.

Sincerely,

CZI Capacity Building Partners
