Capacity Development: a process whereby people, organizations & society as a whole unleash, strengthen, create, adapt & maintain already existing capacity over time

Capacity buildingCapacity building: a process starting with a plain surface and involving the step-by-step erection of a new structure, based on preconceived designs


More than Human Resources and Institution Building:

Capacity – “the ability to perform functions, solve problems, and set and achieve objectives” (UNDP 2002)

Indicator 4: Strengthen Capacity by Coordinated Support:• How much TC did you provide in FY 2005?

→ Qd3. (USD): $ 153.248.315

• How much TC did you provide through coordinated programmes in support of CD in FY 2005?

→ Qd.4 (USD): $ 67.333.779

Some Donors Consider their TA to be Coordinated Because of the Consultations with GoG. However this is not in line with the definition of the Survey.

6 out of 16 Donors Reported “0” Coordination

More Information is Required to Analyze the Coordinated TA

PPME - Harmonization at the Global Level:

• Funding From Swiss Government

• WB Baseline Indicator System + Swiss Performance Criteria

• Pooled Idea – Output Agreed on Global Level (RTs)

→ Development of a Framework for Procurement Assessment as Globally Coordinated CD

Overall Effects:

1. More V4M2. Increased reliance on NPS

→ Therefore: Increased PC Ownership

comfort level for DPs to administer ODA through NPS

→ DPs can support similar ventures e.g. FM, M&E, MfDR
