Abstract
The development sector is rife with complaints about strict accountability requirements imposed by donors. However, this paper argues that the imposition of a new accountability framework can sometimes be converted into a useful tool. This note describes how the IMPACT alliance used the Five Capabilities (5C) model prescribed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It describes the major findings from a baseline assessment, and reflections on that process. The authors argue that the operationalisation of the 5C model provides useful opportunities for discussing capacity development priorities with partners. Utilisation du modèle des cinq capacités (5C): faire de nécessité vertu Les plaintes sont nombreuses dans le secteur du développement concernant les exigences strictes de reddition de compte imposées par les bailleurs de fonds. Cependant, cet article soutient que l'imposition d'un nouveau cadre de reddition de comptes peut parfois être convertie en outil utile. Cette note décrit la manière dont l'alliance IMPACT a eu recours au modèle des cinq capacités (5C) prescrit par le ministère néerlandais des Affaires étrangères. Elle décrit les principales conclusions tirées d'une évaluation de référence, ainsi que des réflexions sur ce processus. Les auteurs soutiennent que l'opérationnalisation du modèle des 5C donne des occasions utiles de discuter des priorités de développement des capacités avec les partenaires. Operando el modelo de las Cinco Capacidades (5C): hacer de la necesidad una virtud En el ámbito de desarrollo, prevalecen las quejas en relación a las estrictas medidas de rendición de cuentas impuestas por los donantes. Sin embargo, el presente artículo sostiene que el requisito de usar un nuevo marco para la rendición de cuentas, a veces puede convertirse en un ejercicio útil. En el artículo se describe cómo la alianza impact usó el modelo Cinco Capacidades (5C) recomendado por el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Holanda. En este sentido, se analizan las conclusiones de una evaluación de referencia y se hacen reflexiones respecto a este proceso. Los autores sostienen que la implementación del modelo 5C genera oportunidades útiles para revisar las prioridades en torno al desarrollo de capacidades con las contrapartes.
