Resumen
Descripción
In the past year, the donor community
has paid unprecedented attention to the subject of capacity
development. From the World Bank task force on capacity
development in Africa to the Paris Declaration on aid
effectiveness, donors have signaled both the importance of
the issue to African development and a new determination to
improve results on capacity development interventions. For
African practitioners, however, whether this new attention
will result in real changes is still unclear. This brief
examines some of the African reactions, gathered through a
series of consultations in the past year, to growing
attention on capacity development among donors. Unless the
new commitments lead to real changes in behavior on the
ground, the African practitioners say, the latest
commitments will simply be remembered as yet another missed
turning point.
