| description |
Presented in this study are nine
development initiatives in six less developed countries -
Afghanistan, Cambodia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Timor Leste
and Uganda. The cases show that development initiatives,
which engage local communities and local level governments,
are often able to have significant impact. However, for more
substantial improvements to take places, localized gains
need to be scaled up either horizontally (other localities)
or vertically (to higher levels). Given the advantages of
working at the local level and the difficulty of working
through mainstream bureaucratic agencies at higher levels in
these countries, donors often prefer to create
'parallel-agencies' to reach out to larger numbers
of beneficiaries. However, this may in the long run weaken
the legitimacy of mainstream government institutions, and
donor agencies may therefore choose to work as closely as
possible with government officials from the beginning to
build trust and demonstrating that new initiatives are
non-threatening and help prepare the eventual mainstreaming
of parallel agencies. |
