| Summary: | This brief looks at the challenge of
building capacity in post-conflict countries, reviews
options for creating capacity, and identifies trade-offs
between a rapid result and longer-term impacts of capacity
strategies. Six lessons for more sustainable approaches to
capacity building are identified: (a) leadership matters,
(b) incentives also matter, (c) build on what exists, (d)
arrange learning activities within a country wherever
possible, (e) training needs to be defined in its strategic
capacity, and (f) training should build on the comparative
advantage of international partners. |
