Summary/Abstract: Training and development is a matter of paramount interest to contemporary organisations. The attention given to the subject has given way to a stream of analysis, diagnosis and prescription on the part of organizational scholars, practitioners and popular management writers. But, the closer analysis of the extant training and development literature revealed that focus of the research has been limited to the indivudual phases of the training cycle. A comprehensive instrument, focusing on assessment of all the phases of training cycle has been missing. This gap in the literature provided the impetus to develop the Training and Development Capacity Building Scale (TDCBS). When an instrument is constructed, psychometric testing is needed and the first step is to study content validity. Hence, it was decided to establish and report the content validity evidence for the newly developed scale.
