Capacity Animal Protection Coalition (CAPC)
Empowering Asian NGOs to make transformative change for animals
Capacity in Animal Protection Coalition
The Capacity in Animal Protection Coalition (CAPC) is a knowledge-sharing platform dedicated to strengthening animal protection organizations (APOs) in Asia. Established in May 2023, CAPC facilitates resource exchange and expert guidance to help APOs grow their work, and to make it more effective and future-proof.
Our coalition of capacity-building experts is committed to empowering Asian NGOs to drive transformative change for animals, with a special focus on farmed animal welfare and diet change advocacy. Through CAPC, we:
-
Leverage research and expertise to strengthen the capacity of APOs.
-
Support APOs in maximizing their impact for animals.
-
Share valuable insights and services across the AfA Network.
Funding sub-group
To tackle the persistent funding challenges faced by farm animal protection organizations in Asia, CAPC launched its first subgroup in late 2024. Based on insights from The Capacity and Funding Landscape of the Asian Farm Animal Protection Movement, this subgroup serves as a collaborative platform for exchanging knowledge, exploring funding solutions, and strengthening financial sustainability across the region.
CAPC Success Stories
Since its inception, CAPC has supported animal protection organizations (APOs) in nine countries across Asia, helping them strengthen their strategies, overcome capacity challenges, and expand their impact:to ad hoc activities between calls). We hope to receive your application soon!

CAPC Insights and Resources
Our Insights
Before launching CAPC, we conducted in-depth research, including a survey of numerous AfA Network member organizations, to identify the most pressing capacity-building needs, challenges in addressing them, and existing gaps. This research revealed key barriers limiting the growth and impact of animal protection organizations (APOs) in Asia, shaping CAPC’s approach to delivering targeted support and sustainable solutions.
