Fostering training partnerships in developing countries : an evaluation of the WBIEP partnership program FY98-FY99
Marra, Mita | Colinet, Laurence
To foster training capacity in developing countries, the World Bank Institute (WBI) has in recent years tried innovative approaches to capacity building, such as using new technologies to share knowledge. In November 1997 WBI Economic Policy and Poverty Reduction division (WBIEP) launched the institutional partnership program. The idea is to create a network of partner institutions in developing countries to help WBI share the knowledge Bank work generates. In phase one, trainers from potential partner institutions upgrade their knowledge by attending a core course delivered by WBIEP. The first trainer training took place in fiscal 1998. In phase two, trainers from partner institutions adapt the course to local conditions and organize and deliver the course in their region, in collaboration with WBIEP task managers. Partner institutions delivered the first customized core courses in fiscal 1999. In fiscal year 1999, when the program was about to be extended to other divisions, the WBI evaluation unit was asked to evaluate the program, to assess activities and results from the initial trainer training and from delivery of the first core courses by partner institutions.
