capacity building
I usually translate this term as "capacity building", adjust the grammar of the sentence accordingly:
- Not only could there be more staff capacity building, but he should also...
Hope this helps ;-)

"staff capacity building" gets over 300,000 hits on Google... sound like a standard term...
