Description
This book is a compilation of essays from different perspectives on the topic of capacity development. The essays discuss the successes and failures of capacity development in the past, and offer suggestions on how to improve the process in the future.
If capacity development initiatives are to have a pivotal role in helping developing countries meet the challenges of the 21st century, it is necessary to take a closer look at the underlying assumptions about the nature of development as a process of societal transformation, of capacity and capacity development, of knowledge and of aid-donor-recipient relationship. This book contains a range of views from practitioners, academics and policy-makers about what has gone right with technical cooperation, what has gone wrong, and how to do it better.
