| Summary: | Ownership of development goals and
priorities by local stakeholders is widely viewed as a
critical factor impacting development effectiveness and
achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The
2008 Accra Agenda for Action identifies the concept as one
of inclusive ownership, involving parliaments, local
authorities and civil society organizations (CSOs), as well
as governments. The importance and challenges of building
such broad-based ownership across society were a key
discussion topic at the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid
Effectiveness in November 2011 at Busan. This study aims to
generate deeper operational knowledge on what can be done to
foster inclusive ownership; its initial findings were
presented at Busan. This study involves a retrospective
review of a small sample of cases. From these cases it is
possible to demonstrate that inclusive ownership, when
considered in terms of the operational dimensions examined
in the study, can improve as a result of strategic capacity
development efforts. It also shows how using an analytic
lens such as the CDRF, in particular for the assessment of
intermediate results of capacity development, helps to
deconstruct the change process in a given case and suggest
some operational lessons. Further learning is warranted on
how inclusive ownership can be fostered through the design
and delivery of capacity development initiatives.
Collaboration among and across global communities concerned
with ownership and capacity development would enable this
work to draw on wider development experiences and generate
deeper knowledge on how capacity development can support
transformative change. |
