From projects to processes
The inclusive processes leading to policy solution,mechanisms for engagement which can better support the context-specific institutional capacity-building that is needed to sustain these processes.
From "fly-in/fly-out" technical assistance to building networks of local, regional , country and global expertise
This kind of approach is incompatible with what is needed to strengthen institutions and improve processes for sustainable change management. Short-term technical support also often struggles to gain legitimacy, because it lacks deep connection to the broader political and economic context of the country.
It is time to acknowledge that it is not only the locus of expertise that needs shifting, but also the nature of expertise.
From static knowledge creation to co-produced practical resources based on implementation experience
One reason is that the challenges many countries face are not about what to do, but rather how to do it — how to design context-appropriate policies that meet social, economic and political objectives; how to overcome implementation challenges and stakeholder opposition; how to adapt and build on knowledge and learnings from other contexts.
It is essential to translate evidence based knowledge so that it can be effectively incorporated into country processes. This will provide opportunities for collaborative learning that is focused on practical how-to’s and fostering robust, inclusive processes
