Building Indigenous Consulting Capacity: An African Case

Abstract

According to Edward Jaycox, capacity building is the missing link in African development. One way to build indigenous consulting capacity is to use consultancies which blend the expertise of local and international experts, and thereby provide indigenous consultants with a richer base of experience. This paper is a case study of such a blended consultancy. Its success was based on the client's skillful management: selection of a workable team, tight control of the process, excellent communications, and flexibility on everyone's part. Although demographically heterogenous on the surface, the consultancy worked well as a unit. The paper closes with suggestions for donor agencies and client organisations regarding the means to foster such blended consultancies.
