Renewing approaches to institutional development
|
In an effort to reverse the way of doing international development cooperation, the importance of formal and informal institutions for development has attracted the renewed attention by policy makers and practitioners over the recent past. Against this background, a wealth of new methodologies, guidelines and tools have been designed to promote institutional development. Even though it is broadly recognised that development organisations face big challenges when translating what are often abstract concepts into operational realities, there are nevertheless relatively few opportunities for people to systematically exchange information and learn from each other’s experiences with institutional development.

The ECDPM acknowledges the support it received for this issue of Capacity.org from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands (DGIS).
