| Summary: | There is an emerging consensus that
capacity building in developing countries must shift from
supply-side, donor-driven to demand-led approaches. Three
areas in which this is critical are evaluation capacity, the
availability of skilled individuals, and aid management. An
effective demand-led approach requires fostering a
transparent evaluation culture, focused on poverty impacts
and involving participatory approaches. The approach to
skilled resources must move from skills acquisition to the
retention and use of skills, using the resources of the
diaspora, tackling incentives and addressing issues that
discourage retention of skills. |
