在依赖援助的经济中,外部技术援助在多大程度上能够发展政府或当地非政府组织的能力或对应方?柬埔寨自1993年以来的经验表明,在这种情况下,大多数项目在确定、设计和执行方面都是由捐助方推动的,不利于能力发展。与此相关的是,在这种经济中,政府长期资金不足,这阻碍了项目的实施,并威胁到项目后的财政可持续性。除非捐助者制定一项协调一致的战略(而不是竞争性的、与项目有关的工资补贴)来处理这种情况,否则能力建设方面的技术援助记录将继续令人失望,摆脱对援助的依赖将被推迟。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
To what extent can external technical assistance develop the capacity or counterparts, whether in government or in local nongovernmental organizations (LNGOs) in an aid-dependent economy? Cambodia's experience since 1993 suggests that most projects in such a situation are donor-driven in their identification, design and implementation, to the detriment of capacity development. Connected with this is the chronic underfunding of government in such an economy, which hinders implementation of projects and threatens post-project financial sustainability. Unless donors develop a coherent strategy (rather than competitive, project-related salary supplementation) to deal with this situation, the record of technical assistance in developing capacity will continue to be disappointing, and an escape from aid dependence will be postponed.
