Building Capacity in Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation: Lessons from the Field by Horton, Douglas

“…Nine lessons are drawn: (1) Project design is much more than a technical process; it is essentially one of negotiation. (2) In capacity-building projects, design activities cannot end when implementation begins. (3) A priority for capacity-building efforts is to prepare managers to deal with complexity, uncertainty and change.(4) In capacity-building efforts, don't patronize managers, but seek to collaborate as equals.(5) Organizational assessment is a complex social process, intertwined with organizational politics. (6) In designing capacity-building projects, it is essential to involve managers and staff members in assessing needs and opportunities. (7) Action-learning strategies offer great potential for capacity building. (8) In the context of strategic management and organizational learning, PM&E take on new meanings. (9) Training is most effective when it is designed to serve a purpose within an organizational change process. …”
