| Summary: | Despite the high-level commitments made
on using country systems, Somalia continues to trail other
fragile states in critical dimensions, including the
proportion of aid delivered “On Budget.” Given the explicit
focus on statebuilding in Somalia, the preferencing of
short-term operational concerns over long-term government
systems building appears to run counter to the international
community’s stated objectives. No delivery modality is
without risk; both country systems and alternative delivery
channels have drawbacks. But these options also have
differing strengths, depending on the type of project,
sector or situation. In finding the right mix of tools, both
government and international partners need to focus more on
the statebuilding goals towards which they are jointly
committed. This report examines donors’ decision-making
about the use of country systems, exploring both the
perceived and actual risks and benefits associated with it.
It also articulates recommendations for improving and
increasing the use of country systems, with relevance that
extends beyond the Somali context. The report was financed
with the generous support of the UN-WB Partnership Fund. |
