Research on Cost-effectiveness of Capacity Developments

本研究旨在提出关于能力发展项目影响的评估方法。关于能力发展项目，数据来自来自22个国家的404名国际培训项目的参与者。结果表明，项目所涵盖的知识和技能增加了参与者的年收入，通过培训获得的知识和技能转移给他人并应用于新的开发项目，三种情况下的内部收益率比较，社会效应的回报率高于参与者的私人效应回报率。研究发现，学习向他人的迁移是产生更多项目效果的重要因素，建议对受援者和行政机构官员进行持续效果的培训，以提高援助的效率。还有人建议，应该向参与者传授在课程中将学习转移给其他人的重要性。

This research aimed to propose evaluation methods regarding the impact of capacity development projects. As for the capacity development projects, the data were collected from 404 participants in the international training projects from 22 countries. The results showed that knowledge and skills covered by projects produced an increase in the annual income of participants, the transfer of the knowledge and skills acquired through the training to others and their application to new development projects.When the internal rates of return among these three cases were compared, the rate of return to the social effects was higher than that to the private effects of participants. It was found that the transfer of learning to others was important to produce more effects of projects.It was suggested that training to sustain the effects for recipient and officers of administrative body was important to promote the efficiency of aid. It was also suggested that participants should be taught how important to transfer the learning to others in curricula.
