Abstract
This is the case study report on IDRC’s collaboration since 1996 with Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. The evaluation focuses on the processes and results of IDRC support for the development of capacities of its southern partners – what, whose, and how, capacities have been enhanced and how effectively. The evaluation utilizes the concept of ‘loose coupling’ to describe a situation in which system elements (for example, parts of an organization) are responsive to each other, but at the same time retain evidence of separateness and identity. As the relationship between IDRC and Makerere is constituted by a set of individual relationships, so is IDRC’s work in research capacity building.
