| Summary: | The country study follows a framework
that examines three dimensions of capacity building in the
public sector: (1) institutional capacity, the framework of
goals, incentives, rewards, and sanctions within which
organizations, groups, and individuals operate; (2)
organizational capacity, groups of individuals bound
together for a specific purpose, with objectives, internal
mechanisms, procedures, and resources; and (3) human
capacity, people with the ability to analyze development
needs, define objectives, design and implement strategies,
policies, and programs, and raise resources to meet those
needs and deliver services. There are four focal sectors
reviewed: roads, health, education, and public financial
management. On measures of both relevance and effectiveness,
the Bank's support has been strongest in the roads
sector, stronger in education than in health, and weakest in
public financial management. Overall, its support has also
been more effective at building organizational and human
resource capacities than building institutions, though there
is considerable variation in the effectiveness of its
support for these dimensions of capacity across the four sectors. |
