Toward purposeful individual capacity strengthening: alternative considerations for Western NGOs

Vincent M. Mugisha

Development in Practice, 2015, vol. 25, issue 2, 247-258

Abstract: The international donor community continues to emphasise country-led development strategies designed to equitably engage public and civil society agents in managing development assistance. Similarly donors who fund Western NGOs to implement development programmes on their behalf in recipient countries are increasingly pushing for cost-effective programme implementation that actively engages local actors. This article proposes an alternative theoretically grounded model for individual capacity strengthening to responsive and mission-driven Western NGOs that claim to be committed to ideals of capacity strengthening and indigenisation of programme leadership.
