Resumen
Descripción
The international development community
has been grappling with the challenges of implementing
development programs and, consequently, with the design of
practical approaches to attaining program objectives. This
paper contributes to the emerging discussion on addressing
the implementation capacity gap in developing countries. It
presents the post-conflict experience of Burundi in building
the capacity of its public sector to deliver basic services
and demonstrates a practical approach to implementing what
has been called problem-driven iterative adaptation. The
Leadership for Results approach shows that a results-focused
process of learning through disciplined experimentation
enables local officials and stakeholders to more willingly
learn and adopt new ways of doing things. This approach can
be structured to address the time inconsistency between a
development program and political or electoral concerns,
both of which are critical to overcome implementation challenges.
