A development path, paved by young leaders
[ 14.02.2013 ]
Ask any global development practitioner these days and they will stress the importance of young local leadership and talent in the markets which they work. That’s because traditional international development models are transforming. In the past, foreign aid donors would plan and contract most major development projects from their capital cities back home, be they Brussels, Canberra or Tokyo. The selected implementers, usually from the donor country, would then get on a plane bound for the recipient country and work there for a specified amount of time until the project was completed.
Today, however, these same donors are moving away from that model to one where projects are designed, planned and implemented by local government, local partners and local professionals.
The key for any developing country is to prove that it has the necessary local capacity, government and otherwise, to absorb and manage these funds.
