The combination of technical assistance with development finance : does it work?

Thesis (MDF (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tegniese bystand bly steeds ’n aktuele kwessie in die meeste ontwikkelende lande. Tegniese samewerking is vir baie dekades gebruik as ’n werktuig vir die opbou van
toenemende kapasiteit en, van groter belang, as ’n manier om projekte te
implementeer. Werkskrag is nodig sodat ontwikkeling kan plaasvind.
Dit is ’n uitdaging om te bepaal hoe tegniese bystand voorsien moet word, en of
sodanige bystand wél aan die ontvanger se behoeftes voldoen. Sommige is van mening
dat Westerse lande geneig was om aan ontwikkelende lande voor te skryf watter soort
tegniese bystand hulle sou benodig. Dit het daartoe gelei dat die meeste ontvangers nie
verantwoordelikheid vir produksie aanvaar het nie.
Navorsing verwys na die behoefte vir tegniese bystand asook die sukses wat tot nou
toe behaal is op dié terrein, alhoewel dit gering was. Die meeste ontwikkelende
finansiële instansies, insluitende die Wêreldbank, lewer bewys van tegniese
bystandsprogramme. Hierdie programme dien as ondersteuning vir instansies in die
uitbetaling van verdere fondse vir ontwikkeling. Die verslag dui aan dat, alhoewel
tegniese bystand en ontwikkelingsfinansiering wél werk, vooruitgang steeds nodig is. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Technical assistance continues to be a topical issue in most developing countries. For
many decades, technical cooperation has been used as a vehicle to build capacity building
and, more importantly, as a way to implement projects. Capacity is required for
development to take place.
The challenge is how the technical assistance is provided, and whether such assistance
is what the recipient needs. Western countries have tended to prescribe to the
developing countries in terms of the kind of technical assistance they need, which has
resulted in many recipients not taking responsibility for the output.
The research alludes to the need for technical assistance and the successes that have
been achieved until now in the field, even though they have been marginal. Most
development finance institutions, including the World Bank, are shown to have technical
assistance programmes. Such programmes assist the institutions in disbursing more
development funds. The Report indicates that, although technical assistance and
development finance do work, improvement is still required.
