Capacity Development Objectives Developing
Countries
Capacity Building Is.. about Empowerment,
Creating Power or at Least Setting It Free Where
It Previously Did Not Exist or Was Not Free to
Come to the Fore Allowing Those Who Previously
Could Not Do Something, To Do So On Their Own
Terms.. Geraldine J Fraser-Moleketi,
Minister for Public Service Administration,

IFI Focus Strategy
  • Public Sector Target
  • Integrated with Project Delivery Processes
  • Focused on Government Employees
  • Tools include Project Deployment Training

5
IFI Focus Strategy more recently
  • Still Public Sector Target
  • Recognise Capacity Development as Core Objective
    rather than Collateral
  • Develop Products to Respond to this Recognition
    as follows

OED Review of Bank Support for Capacity Building
In Africa - Management Response
  • The Bank, at the corporate level, should..
    better help countries
  • a) Prioritize capacity building activities and
    guide donor support
  • b) Link institutional, organizational, and human
    capacity developments, and
  • c) transform traditional capacity building tools
    to improve results.
  • It should also ensure that guidelines and
    processes are in place for self- and independent
    evaluation of Bank capacity building
    interventions.

7
OED Review of Bank Support for Capacity Building
In Africa - Management Response
  • . develop sector-specific guidance on diagnosing
    public sector capacity needs and ways of
    monitoring and evaluating interventions.

OED Review of Bank Support for Capacity Building
In Africa - Management Response
  • . help countries identify and strengthen the
    capacities they need to plan, implement, and
    measure the results of their poverty reduction
    strategies, and guide donor support. . Also
    ensure that all operations that aim to build
    public sector capacity are based on adequate
    assessments of capacity needs and incorporate
    ways to monitor and evaluate results.
  • reassess what role training should play in its
    capacity building support,

9
FIDIC Focus Strategy

    Focus

    Vehicles for Industry Development and Engagement
    of Governments

  • Promoting Industry Practice that Encourages
    Knowledge Transfer
  • Developing Training Materials and Training
    Platforms

10
FIDIC Focus Strategies Contd.

    Engineering Industry
  • Development of Certification Programs
  • Regular Monitoring of Industry Performance
    Through MA Survey
  • Developing Bench Marking Tools for the Consulting
    Engineering Industry
  • Pursuing Closer Collaboration with IFIs

11
FIDIC Successes
  • Establishment and Strengthening of Regional
    Groupings such as GAMA and ASPAC
  • Encouragement of New and Existing MAs
  • Promotion of Procurement Policies that Recognise
    Capacity Development and Capacity Utilisation
  • Development of Training Materials on a Variety of

13
FIDIC Lessons Learnt

  • Financial, Material and Human Resources Support
    to back Policies
  • Commitment of All Stakeholders and Measurement of
    Results
  • Capacity Building Costs Money
  • Establishment Maintenance of Regional
    Groupings, MAs, etc
  • Preparation of Training Materials
  • Executing Training Programmes

14
FIDIC Lessons Learnt
  • Capacity Building Takes Time
  • Training Time
  • Practice Time
  • Learning Curves

15
The Way Forward
  • The Need for IFI to Recognise the role of the
    Private Sector in Quality Project Delivery and
    Support the Development of Capacity in this
    Sector
  • Private Sector Companies Are the Project
    Executors, while the Public Sector Is the Project
    Owner Facilitator. Ignoring the Private Sector
    Capacity Can Only Lead to Poor Project Delivery

16
The Way Forward
  • Recognise the Role of Procurement Policy and
    Practice in Capacity Utilisation and Development
    and the Need to Develop Responsive Processes
  • The Situation Where Graduates in Developing
    Countries Roam the Streets on the Grounds of Cost
    of Training or Quality of Projects Cannot Be
    Acceptable and Is Not Sustainable

17
The Way Forward
  • The Recognition of the Role of National
    Professional Associations as the Pivot for this
    Private Sector Capacity Development and Financial
    and Human Assistance for the Development of Such
    Organisations
  • Professional Associations in Developing
    Countries Are So Weak that They Are Unable to
    Engage Their Home Government and IFIs in
    Meaningful Dialogue about Capacity Development

18
The Way Forward
  • Support for and Cooperation with International
    Organisations Such as FIDIC Who Already Have
    Framework for Capacity Development
  • FIDIC Has Several Products Under Development and
    Is Able to Develop Many More. Funding Is Required
    for these Products to Reach Developing Countries
    where They Are Critically Needed

The Way Forward
