• W855496118 abstract "As many regions of the world continue to lag behind the industrialized nations in measures of income and human development, official development assistance remains an important conduit for funds, ideas and experience to travel between donor and recipient nations. The effectiveness of this assistance, however, remains an open question. Traditional analyses of aid effectiveness examine characteristics of recipient countries – institutional strength, macroeconomic policy, democracy and commitment to reform, among others – to determine which countries will increase average incomes or reduce poverty most for a given amount of aid. This paper approaches the topic from a new direction. It seeks to identify specific aspects of past projects that resulted in success in a given policy and economic environment. The ultimate goal is to design projects that allow effective development assistance to continue in countries that continue to pursue economic and political reforms. As the largest and most experienced provider of international aid, the World Bank plays a leading role in determining how other donors disburse aid. It is also well-known for developing and refining new paradigms for aid disbursement, ranging from integrated rural development to social action funds to today’s community-based development. Some of these endeavors have been successful; many have been disappointing. Uganda presents an interesting case study of two project attributes that have recently seized the World Bank’s attention: decentralization and civil society involvement. Using World Bank evaluation documents, project outcome, sustainability, and institutional development impact ratings are compared across projects with and without decentralization and civil society components. In addition to this quantitative analysis, strengths and weaknesses of individual projects relating to these aspects are presented and discussed. The specific Ugandan context, particularly the resurrection of local democratic institutions under the National Resistance Movement, plays a central role in this analysis. The results of this investigation warrant both caution and optimism in the planning of future development projects in Uganda. Decentralization (for which a relatively small sample was available) does not improve either the overall project outcome or the institutional development impact, but does have a positive effect on project sustainability. Civil society involvement is associated with higher outcome and institutional development ratings, but has an ambiguous effect on sustainability. Reviews of individual projects reveal that decentralization often proceeds before local capacity has been prepared for additional responsibilities; the observed results suggest that correcting this cart-before-horse effect could improve overall outcomes. These findings can be cautiously applied to other developing countries in Africa and elsewhere, provided that local context is always taken into consideration." @default.
