When recipients cannot absorb the aid and attention they are
offered, the common response is "capacity building"-as if the
source of the problem is the recipient's implementation capacity.
In this report, Robert D. Lamb and Kathryn Mixon present the
results of their research on the sources of absorptive capacity.
They find that this sort of "blaming the victim" mentality, while
common, is not always justified. While it is true that many aid
recipients do not have adequate capacity for implementation, it is
equally true that many aid programs are designed and implemented
without an adequate appreciation of local desires, resources,
capabilities, and challenges. Absorptive capacity, in other words,
is a byproduct of the donor-recipient relationship. The authors
present a new framework for measuring absorptive capacity. This
framework is intended to supplement existing planning, monitoring,
and evaluation processes, offering a new way to test whether an
existing approach is compatible with local conditions and a method
for improving the fit.
