This technical document provides an assessment of  capacity building needs in 33 developing countries, based on a survey of views and perceptions of local stakeholders. Reviews of the questionnaires and the interviews are summarized in the four regional chapters (Africa, Asia and Pacific, Latin America and Middle East). A fifth chapter provides a detailed summary of the 33 national reports. Finally the concluding chapter offers thoughts on the way forward regarding capacity-building issues in developing countries. The most important conclusion of this assessment is that increased emphasis on capacity-building activities is a key component to a successful implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in developing countries.
