Rationale/Purpose:  This study examines the role of elite sport development programs in the capacity building process of disability sport organizations. Design/Methodology/Approach:  An instrumental qualitative case study design was employed with data consisting of documentation and semi–structured interviews with program administrators and senior leadership from seven NPCs. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and yielded four main themes. Findings:  Development programs are external and incentivized stimuli which can initiate the capacity building process. Prior assessment of target groups' needs and existing capacities are key to program design and implementation. Practical Implications:  Recommendations are provided for program administrators on how they may support the development of NPCs organizational capacities through each stage of the capacity building process. Research contribution:  The study contributes to the literature on elite Para sport development and organizational capacity by highlighting the importance of, and challenges in, aligning development programs' objectives with the target organization's needs.
