Conflict, Crime and Violence Issue Note; |
| description |
The issue note discusses the rationale
for, and presents the initial results of an innovative
method of governance support conducted through the
preparation and implementation of Poverty Reduction Strategy
(PRS) in fragile states. The experiment was conducted in the
context of an action and learning program on governance in
fragile and conflict affected countries. The note first
examines the political economic framework prevailing in
fragile states, and particularly the neopatrimonial dynamics
which structure political agents behavior, as they have been
studied, notably, by Chabal and Daloz; Douglass North, John
Wallis and Bary Weingast; and Margaret Levi. The note looks
at the relatively brief history of PRSs and notes that they
have been reviewed from a classical economics perspective:
whether the PRSs' proposed policies 'got it
right.' It argues that an institutionalize perspective,
on the other hand, will rather look at the institutional
processes from which the PRSP is developed, and concludes
that PRS support will be more effective if it is focused on
issues of methodology and process facilitation rather than
analytics. The last chapter describes, in operational terms,
the type of PRS support that has been provided through the
experiment in the Cote d'Ivoire case: methodological
support and process facilitation were provided for the
preparation of the PRS policy matrices and the design of its
monitoring and evaluation system. It concludes by proposing
a set of results that can be monitored to assess the impact
of this type of approach, not only for governance in the
meaning of the capacity of a state to develop and implement
policies, but also for governance in its broader, more
traditional meaning. |
