Absorption (absorptive) capacity
This usually means the ability of a country or organization to receive aid and use it effectively. Developing countries often lack this capacity. For example, a country may receive enough money to enable all its children to attend primary school - but owing to a lack of teachers, lack of schools or a poor administrative system, it is impossible to spend this money in the short term. Work must first be done to train teachers, build schools and improve the efficiency of the system - thus raising the country's ''absorptive capacity''.

Absorption capacity
The term absorption capacity (as a part of EU Cohesion Policy) stands for the degree to which a country is able to effectively and efficiently spend the financial resources received from the European Funds. In other words, it measures the ability of the EU member state to ‘digest and consume’ the funds it obtained in order to foster its development and thus improve the economic and social situation in the country.
