Description
In development, stabilization, and peace building, donors increasingly recognize the importance of being sensitive to the local contexts of their efforts.
Yet the use of ';blueprints' remains widespread. Even when standard approaches are modified for particular aid partners, there often remains a poor fit between donor efforts and local conditions.
When recipients cannot absorb the aid and attention they are offered, the common response is ';capacity building.' While it is true that many aid recipients do not have adequate capacity for implementation, this report presents the results of a case study demonstrating that some security and justice programs are designed and implemented without an adequate appreciation of local desires, resources, capabilities, and challenges.
Absorptive capacity, in other words, is a byproduct of the donor-recipient relationship.
An earlier study by the authors introduced a new framework for measuring absorptive capacity.
This volume applies it to security and justice sector programs that did not meet all of their objectives in Lebanon, Cambodia, and Colombia.
