The Capacity Institute Announces the Nigeria Capacity Forum 2026
The Capacity Institute has announced the inaugural Nigeria Capacity Forum — Nigeria's first major forum dedicated to institutional performance and execution capacity, themed "How Nigeria Can Become a Capacity State."
The Capacity State Published — A New Framework for Understanding Institutional Execution
Dr Hani Okoroafor's The Capacity State — the foundational text of The Capacity Institute's research programme — is now available. The book introduces the Capacity Architecture framework and makes the case for execution capacity as the central development challenge of our time.
