INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We Preserve the Core-We Stimulate Progress
Institutional Development:
According to North’s famous definition, institutions are ‘humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction’. They are the ‘rules of the game’ in a society, the rules that facilitate human interaction and societal life. Consequently, institutional development may be seen as the processes by which institutions evolve and perish, i.e. ongoing endogenous and autonomous processes in society
Institutions are now widely considered to be central to sustainable development and poverty reduction. During the 1990s, institutional arrangements were generally believed to constrain the impact, effectiveness and efficiency of development aid.
Institutional development calls for a new way of ‘doing business’. The process of development assistance needs to be turned upside down. A donor-driven process must become client-driven. A process obsessed by inputs must instead concern itself primarily with results on the ground
Institutional development is above all an exercise in social transformation and therefore needs ‘systemic’ support. This means taking account of the political, economic and cultural factors that may effect institutional performance.
Focus DA has capacity to facilitate participatory endogenous processes that aim at raising people’s awareness of the processes they are involved in
