The challenge of capacity development: working towards good practice 
DAC/OECD, 2006

In reviews of aid effectiveness, the development of capacity is invariably recognised as one of the most critical issues for both donors and partner countries. The 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness highlights the need for significantly enhanced support for country efforts to strengthen governance and
improve development performance. In this context, the Declaration calls for capacity development to be an explicit objective of national development and poverty-reduction strategies.

This paper offers a framework for thinking about capacity development, based on the main lessons of experience, both good and bad. It draws on the wealth of evaluations and analysis carried out by bilateral and multilateral donors, as well as on the work of academics. It is largely concerned with capacity issues in the public sector, although it does not address the full range of public sector issues and cannot deal with the challenges in specific sectors, such as trade or education. It is not a "cookbook" containing detailed instructions on how to do capacity development. Instead, it brings together the most critical general lessons learned, and spells out their implications for development practice today.

Implementing Institutional and Capacity Development: Conceptual and Operational Issues
Land, 2000

Report of a workshop held in 1999 to review and draw lessons of capacity building experiences through case studies. The workshop was organised because conceptual understanding of factors influencing organisational and institutional behaviour and performance seems to run ahead of empirical understanding and synthesis. Case studies include: Nigerian Red Cross, a governance programme in Ethiopia (CIDA) and a PRPS process in Tanzania.
