Abstract
This in-depth analysis focuses on the intentions, processes and results of IDRC support, for the development of capacities of its southern partners: what capacities have been enhanced, whose, how, and how effectively. Six case studies are drawn from to capture how IDRC’s sustained support contributes to capacity development at the individual/group, organizational and network levels in the field. Some evidence suggests that IDRC may need to invest more heavily in aspects of institution strengthening in order to translate research into policy.
