Capacity development through international projects: a complex adaptive systems perspective

Abstract: Purpose-International development practice has had as its dominant paradigm the rational-analytic model of project planning, management and evaluation. This is reflected in the widespread adoption by donor agencies of results-based management (RBM), side by side with conventionally used tools for monitoring and evaluation (including logical framework analysis ("logframe"), logic model and results frameworks). Donor agencies rely upon such tools to generate the evidence base for measuring "success" across the s… Show more

“…Though useful in encouraging thinking about purposes, assumptions, and data, it is less helpful beyond planning, such as for monitoring and evaluation (Bakewell and Garbutt, 2005;Gasper, 2000;NORAD, 1990). An integrative approach that recognises the instrumental utility and goal-setting of results-based management and logical frameworks, but which simultaneously places emphasis on context, adaptability and learning would be beneficial (McEvoy et al, 2016). Such an approach resonates strongly with the emerging literature on adaptive programming, otherwise termed 'Doing Development Differently' (Valters et al, 2016).…”

“…Aunque el estudio realizado por Denizer, Kaufmann y Kraay (2013) con datos de 6000 proyectos del Banco Mundial concluye que, a la hora de obtener mejores resultados, influyen más variables relacionadas con el propio proyecto, como su duración y presupuesto, y la supervisión del mismo, que con el contexto del país en el que se desarrollan, son muchos los autores que otorgan especial importancia al contexto en el que se ejecutan los PCD y a la influencia que éste ejerce sobre los impactos del mismo (Grisham, 2010;Ika, 2012;Ika y Donelly, 2017;Ika y Hodgson, 2014;Khang y Moe, 2008). Este contexto es especialmente relevante para proyectos como los que se enfocan en el desarrollo de capacidades (Ahsan y Gunawan 2010;McEvoy, Brady y Munck, 2016), y progresivamente se ha ido teniendo cada vez más en cuenta a medida que la cooperación al desarrollo ha ido evolucionando y, con ella, los PCD.…”

“…El nuevo marco de asociaciones entre países en el que la cooperación se ha visto inmersa ha producido un movimiento desde los proyectos particulares a trabajar con proyectos que pertenezcan a un mismo programa y estén alineados en él, pero también con las estrategias de desarrollo locales y, más recientemente, con los ODS (Ika y Lytvynov, 2011;McEvoy, Brady y Munck, 2016).…”
