Assessing Effectiveness of Assistance in Capacity Development
Feedback is the dynamic process of presenting and disseminating information to improve performance.
Rationale
Feedback is a circular causal process whereby some portion of a system’s output is returned to the input to control the dynamic behavior of the system. In organizations, feedback is
the process of sharing observations, concerns, and suggestions to improve performance. In work that seeks to address the increasingly complex challenges of development, often
with limited resources, feedback is essential to maximize development impact. Knowledge Solutions: Monthly Progress Notes asserts that the essential first steps of feedback
are the processes of monitoring and evaluation. They identify challenges, recognize common constraints, and note that the submission of monthly progress notes on activities and accomplishments is too infrequently provided in the scope of projects and programs.
There are opportunities too for more systematic capture and storage of feedback from executing agencies on the effectiveness of assistance in capacity development, prior to knowledge sharing and learning.
