Joseph Opio-Odongo commented on Zaida J. Mgalla's blog post 'Tanzania: The role of Information in improving Access to Quality Basic Education'
Zaida, Many thanks for sharing with us the success story. In my view, only the results mentioned in last five bullets could pass the basic test of attribution. Without additional information on how the other factors such as changes in transparency…

Citizen Engagament in Uganda

 The current status of citizen engagement in Uganda, in my view, is average. Considerable efforts have been made  to encourage active citizen participation in public management. However, the inability to understand some of the technical subject matter and recapitulation prompted by inertia of powerlessness that is reinforced by poverty in the countryside undermine active engagement. Furthermore, the good intentions to promote participation and engagement is sometimes undermined by the elite…See More

Johns Benedicto, your comments are appreciated. Those actors are referred to as boundary partners because even though the project works directly with them to effect change, it does not control them. The power to influence development rests with…

This is a stimulating piece of discovery. I would like to reflect further on the 'Outcome Mapping', but while I do so, it is not clear why individuals, groups or organizations with whom the project will engage directly in influencing…

Outcome Mapping (OM) and Management for Development Results (MfDR)

My invitation to Outcome Mapping arose from my engagement in capacity building for environmental mainstreaming and integrated environmental assessment and reporting. Despite being meticulous with project design and implementation, we continued to lack adequate and suitable project-based information to craft credible project performance stories. Although we seemed to do well in telling output-based project performance stories, those stories tended to evoke “so what” questions and subdued…See More

Decentralization and local development: Ensuring Positive Outcomes

Dear Colleagues, A few weeks ago, we asked members to submit topics that they wanted to talk about. One of the topics that came up that we haven’t really talked about in details is decentralization and development.  For several decades decentralization and local development have been encouraged in many African countries as a means for generating a dynamic approach to development by including local stakeholders and beneficiaries in project development and implementation. For most states and…See More
