Capacity Development: Online Resources Recommended Web-sites Capacity Developme

Capacity Development: Online Resources Recommended Web-sites Capacity Development Resource Centre – World Bank Institute The Capacity Development Resource Center includes various sub-pages that provide information on different tools, instruments and methodologies. Capacity Development - UNDP This home page on capacity development provides access to recent UNDP work on capacity assessment, including a practice note, a capacity assessment tool and a users guide. World Bank website on analytic toolkits for public sector institutions The development of standard diagnostic tools for assessing institutional settings has moved rapidly within the World Bank in recent years. Toolkits are standardised approaches that: set out the principles which experience suggests should underpin public sector governance arrangements; provide methods for assessing the degree to which specific country arrangements are consistent with those principles, and present those assessments in a format that readily contributes to the dialogue between the government, donors, and civil society on reform priorities. Tips and Tools Europe Aid (2005) Institutional Assessment and Capacity Development EuropeAid has developed an approach to capacity assessment that is presented in this Reference Document. This offers detailed advice on the major analytical steps to follow. This approach is shared by a number of other donors and is in line with current thinking in this area. UNDP (2006) Practice Note on Capacity Assessments This UNDP Practice Note on Capacity Assessment explains the basics of capacity assessments-concepts, entry points, and methodological issues. The Practice Note includes a review of selected organisational assessment tools and develops a default UNDP framework and tool to assess the enabling environment/national level capacity. Lusthaus, Adrian et al. (2002) Organisational Assessment, A Framework for Improved Performance, IDB/IDRC paper. This book puts forth a framework for analysing the strengths and weaknesses of an organisation in relation to its performance. The text introduces a heuristic framework that has guided IDRCs work for the past decade or so. In general, the framework posits that organisational performance is a function of its enabling environment, capacity and organisational motivation. It goes into a great deal of detail in trying to capture the ideas and concepts that underpin each of the four broad organisational ideas (performance, environment, capacity and motivation). Lusthaus, C., Adrien, M-H., Anderson, G., Carden, F., (1999) Enhancing Organisational Performance: A Toolbox for Self-Assessment, IDRC. Organisations usually conduct self-assessments to better understand their own performance and to address their strategic issues and thus, ultimately, to improve their performance. Organisational self-assessment is often used as a diagnostic, or a starting point, for organisations implementing an internal change or strategic planning process, or both. It can also be used as a way to engage in dialogue with other stakeholders, such as the Board of Directors or donor agencies. This guide and the self-assessment process it presents can be used in a variety of ways. The main objective is to provide users with a process for conducting an assessment, a framework for assessing issues, and some tools and tips to help users as they address an issue that their organisation is facing. Handbook in Assessment of Institutional Sustainability – NORAD This Handbook identifies key dimensions of institutional sustainability. It also suggests practical ways and means to assess such dimensions during all phases of the project cycle. Its main purpose is: to strengthen awareness regarding the importance of assessing institutional sustainability for every project supported; to provide a more solid basis for decision-making in the initial phase of new projects; to identify risks, opportunities, and scope for improvement for ongoing activities; and to provide a basis for monitoring and reviews. Organisational Capacity Assessment (OCA) Pact’s unique methodology for organisational capacity assessment and strengthening (OCA) helps organisations anticipate and overcome the greatest barriers to organisational change and growth. Through a guided self-assessment and planning process, organisations reflect upon their performance, and select the tools and strategies they need to build capacity and broaden impact. Discussion-Oriented Organisational Self-Assessment (DOSA) DOSA is a powerful change process that offers participating organisations concrete assessment tools and change methods suited to organisational climate and culture. The DOSA page is dedicated to helping PVOs and NGOs develop new methods to identify organisational strengths and weaknesses, interpret highly valuable data generated by the process and to translate findings into action plans for meaningful change. Overview of the 7S Model for Organisational Assessment This webpage, which is part of the “managing change” website presents the 7S Model for Organisational Assessment. It also provides a set of guideline questions that can be used in working with the assessment instrument. Impact Alliance resources page on organisational assessment Organisational assessment is a critical activity for any organisation that seeks to better understand its strengths and challenges and to continually increase its effectiveness. There are a variety of approaches to assessment, ranging from highly participatory self-assessment to independent assessments by an external evaluator. This section of the Impact Alliance website on capacity development provides a wide variety of methodologies and tools which will help readers to better understand the theories that underlie organisational assessment as well as to develop their own assessment tools and methodologies. Gubbels, P. and C. Koss (2000). From the Roots Up: strengthening organisational capacity through guided self-assessment. World Neighbours Field Guide 2 Capacity Building. Oklahoma: World Neighbours. In order to engage in an inter-institutional learning process, a team of World Neighbours’ experienced field staff came together in 1995 to form the Action Learning Group (ALG). One of its goals was to analyse, document and promote effective strategies for strengthening the capacities of community-level organisations and local institutions. Since its inception, the ALG has conceived, field-tested and adapted participatory action learning methods to understand, assess and document change in community and organisational capacity. Manning, N. (2000). Administration and Civil Service Assessment Tool. Washington, D.C.: World Bank Learning from extensive work in assessing formal civil service arrangements in EU accession, this toolkit assesses both formal and informal institutional arrangements for public sector employment, including the impact of pay policy and the relations between national and sub-national civil services. It examines the coherence and compliance with formal rules in relation to civil service policy and strategy, legislation and regulations, structure and career management, pay and employment, and performance management. The Drucker Foundation Self-Assessment Tool: Process Guide. This Self-Assessment Tool from the Drucker Foundation provides a process for non- profit organisations to clarify mission, define results, set goals, and develop a focused plan. It includes an introduction to the content of the Tool, and detailed information about using and learning about the Tool. USAID (Centre for Development Information and Evaluation) (2000), Measuring Institutional Capacity (TIPS 15) This PME Tips gives USAID managers information on measuring institutional capacity including some tools that measure the capacity of an entire organisation as well as others that look at individual components or functions of an organisation. The discussion concentrates on the internal capacities of individual organisations, rather than on the entire institutional context in which organisations function. A Composite Framework for Assessing the Capacity of Development Organisations Numerous frameworks for describing or assessing the institutional capacity of development organisations are in development and use. Fortunately there is a great deal of similarity in these new frameworks, reflecting the fact that there is a well- developed emerging consensus on the attributes that make for effective and sustainable institutions. Where frameworks differ is in emphasis, semantics, and in the way certain attributes are defined or clustered. DFID (N.D.) Promoting Institutional and Organisational Development – A Source Book of Tools and Techniques This sourcebook outlines some of the key tools used by those involved in institutional development. The manual focuses on those that are used or have been used in DFID’s own institutional work. Most of the tools are either simple models or checklists. They all have rigorous theoretical underpinnings and are based on practical experience of what works. DGIS/ECDPM: Institutional Development: Learning by Doing and Sharing This booklet presents a number of experiences, practices and tools used in ID. The value of the tools lie not so much in their nature as in the way they are used. In other words, the key point is the attitude of the facilitator or consultant concerned. Whilst tools may play a role as incentives for further thinking, or in helping to analyse material, they can never replace a good facilitator. This booklet seeks to give credit to the need for taking the right attitude to facilitation and process management. Each section ends with a number of references to material that readers can use for further reflection. Monitoring and Evaluation Yemile Mizrahi (2004) Capacity Enhancement Indicators WBI Working Papers The review aims to identify operational indicators and measure capacity programmes. Capacity.Org (2006) Monitoring and Evaluation.
