Local Institutions and the Management of Development Projects

Abstract

In order to boost accountability and responsibility and to ensure decisions are taken locally, donors are introducing arrangements whereby development products are managed by institutions in the recipient country. The main constraints are the temptations for donors to intervene where local management is weak, the shortage of good project managers and the ambiguous position of expatriates.
