ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The World Bank Institute develops and applies capacity development tools to assist countries with sharing knowledge, articulating its development priorities and developing capacity at institutional, organizational and individual levels. The Institute focuses its attention on application of best-practices that are generated from assessment of on-going capacity development initiatives, and from new theoretical insights. Currently, it is engaged to develop methods that allow to tap tacit knowledge and experience-based knowledge, to complement traditional knowledge transfer. Second, it has developed a Results Framework to allow measurement of the outcomes of capacity development, which in turn improves the effectiveness and focus of the capacity development.
