Training and technical assistance is one of the main priorities of the WiLDAF network. Capacity building and training assist members and other organizations in gaining the skills needed to advocate women's rights and provides further access to resources for women. The aim 
is to strengthen the capacity of local groups and individuals to design and carry out effective strategies that enhance the status of women from a legal, cultural, economic, political and social perspective and to adopt more appropriate and participatory methods of rights education within the context of varied development processes at the local, national, sub-regional, regional and international level.

- The need to strengthen women's rights groups within their communities as well as at the national, sub-regional, regional and international levels.
- The need to adopt more appropriate participatory methods of rights education within the context of varied development processes at all levels.
