This article is based on a case study of
environmental and natural resource (ENR) capacity
strengthening efforts in Malawi between 1994-1999. The Bunda
College of Agriculture, Malawi and the International Food
Policy Research Institute jointly implemented an
Agricultural Policy Analysis Training sub-project as a part
of the agriculture service project of the Malawi Ministry of
Agriculture, funded by the World Bank. The overall objective
of the sub-project was to strengthen the capacity of the
Malawian policy analysts in the food, agricultural, and
natural resource sectors. It reports on the process and the
lessons learned from the experiences and insights gained in
developing institutional and human capacity through graduate
programs and short-term training courses in ENR policy
analysis. The lessons from the Malawi exercise show that the
elements of a successful capacity strengthening effort
include assessing the needs for capacity strengthening,
designing, and implementing courses that match the capacity
needs, and institutionalizing these courses within local
institution for sustainability. |
