| description |
A Task Force was set up to recommend
changes in the way the Bank affects African capacity, both
directly through operations aimed at capacity development,
and indirectly through the way it conducts its overall
business of development lending and cooperation in Africa.
Key messages are emerging, which can inform and stimulate
the efforts of all parties in capacity development on the
continent-African countries, external partners, and the
Bank. The Task Force regards these as a work in progress
around which further discussion and reflection are on-going.
The five key messages are: 1) capacity is the missing link
in Africa's achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs); 2) capacity development aims at an effective
state, and an engaged society; 3) Africans must take the
lead in capacity development and aid management; 4) external
partners must engage existing capacity in all African
countries; and, 5) achieving capacity outcomes requires
independent monitoring. A renewed compact will require the
commitment of African leaders and their development
partners, to address capacity development more
strategically, systematically, and boldly. It will require a
frank and comprehensive assessment dealing with the real
constraints to building capacity. It will require using and
retaining capacity effectively. It will require analytical
and financial support for homegrown strategies for capacity
development. And it will require the evolution of modalities
and practices for partners to support the development of
country capacities. |
