'The United Nations system was a pioneer in the field of technical
cooperation, and capacity development is its central mandate. UNDP
has long played an important leadership role in both, as a source
of technical cooperation funds and advisory services and as the
home of innovative intellectual research and analysis on how to
make them more efficient and effective. This book presents] a
vision that builds on new possibilities for knowledge-sharing, for
which the revolution in information and communications technologies
offers ample opportunities... a vision that is firmly founded on
genuine ownership by the ultimate beneficiaries of development
efforts: the government and citizens of developing countries' From
the Foreword by MARK MALLOCH BROWN, Administrator, UNDP Capacity
for Development brings together innovative and well-supported
studies of technical cooperation along with its potential to build
sustainable capacities in developing countries, by enhancing the
knowledge, skills and productive aptitudes of their populations. A
team of eminent development professionals and economists examine
the achievements of technical cooperation and offer recommendations
for reform in the context of globalization, democratisation, the
information revolution and the growth of capacities in the South.
They analyse the issues from three perspectives: ownership,
capacity enablers and knowledge. The team show how the complex
processes involved can be restructured to produce local involvement
and empowerment, set out a normative framework for the input from
society, and describe a new paradigm of knowledge for capacity
building in the network age. This book will be essential reading
for all development professionals and policy-makers, as well as
providing an invaluable research and teaching resource.
