Lessons learned from advisory interventions by the Royal Tropical Institute - "Governance" is an ambiguous term that encompasses complex issues and social phenomena, and is closely linked with constructs such as the State, institutions and government. It is important in every aspect of sustainable development, and vital for effective organisations, whatever their size or purpose. Delete the scoop?

“Shared Harvests: Agriculture, Trade and Employment”s based on a collaboration between UNCTAD and the ILO, as well as on a technical cooperation project entitled, “Assessing and addressing the effects of trade and employment,” managed jointly by the European Commission and the ILO. The findings from the project show a strong link between poverty reduction, on the one hand, and effective agricultural production and trade, on the other. They also emphasize that farming has a key role to play in the economy when it comes to employment creation. Delete the scoop?

Between 24 and 27 March 2013, BTC South Africa staff members Evert Waeterloos, Inge Goossenaerts and Felix Braeckman attended the conference ‘Land Divided. Land and South African Society in 2013, in Comparative Perspective’. This conference was organised at the occasion of the centenary of South Africa’s 19 June 1913 Natives Land Act. This act provided a crucial legal foundation for the consolidation of race and class segregation in the country, well before the establishment of the Apartheid regime in 1948. Delete the scoop?

I've been helping get a collaboration off the ground with the goal of fixing the broken feedback loops in international aid and philanthropy. We call ourselves Feedback Labs. It's a longstanding problem that people who receive services funded by foreigners have almost no power to shape those services. Those holding the purse strings have sole control. And while leaders in the halls of power where the money originates want these efforts to succeed, there are simply too many self-interested middle men that filter and reshape feedback from those affected, so that only the good news flows. These middle men need the money to keep flowing at all costs. Delete the scoop?

The crucial point is that most political, social and economic systems look like the map. Yet the aid business insists on pursuing a linear model of change, either explicitly, or implicitly because a ‘good’ funding application has a clear set of activities, outputs, outcomes and a MEL system that can attribute any change to the project’s activities – a highly linear approach. Other organizations – say forest fire managers, or the military, seem more able to cope with complexity, although I found out from a woman in one seminar who had served in Afghanistan that the power map was actually drawn up by a consultant, who was promptly sacked after showing the slide to General Petraeus, so maybe the soldiers aren’t so comfortable with complexity after all.

Aangezien dit mijn eerste artikel is op de blog van BTC, geloof ik dat een kleine introductie op zijn plaats is. Ik ben van een generatie die is opgegroeid met de fameuze witte olifanten van Douglas De Coninck, een generatie die nauwelijks weet waar ABOS voor staat, die de BTC-infocyclus volgde tijdens de studententijd, en vooral een generatie die gelooft in een andere en betere ontwikkelingssamenwerking. Zelf ben ik, zoals de meesten, door een samenloop van omstandigheden in de sector terechtgekomen. Door toevallige ontmoetingen, gebeurtenissen, en toch ook door een aantal invloedrijke auteurs zoals William Easterly [1], Amartya Sen [2] enz. Delete the scoop?

The international aid community seems to have lost sight of some basic principles. They need to be less wedded to New Public Management reforms and must look for a country-led approach The Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness took place in Busan, South Korea, at the end of 2011. This produced a partnership document that outlined four shared principles to help achieve effective development. These were: ownership of development priorities by developing countries; focus on results; inclusive development partnerships; and transparency and accountability to each other Delete the scoop?
