Phases and modalities in international cooperation

AIM contribute to sustainable poverty reduction.

Phase 1:

Aimed at preparing the colonies for a peaceful transition to independence by supporting the emergence of stable self-reliant communities.

-Approaches:- ‘under-development’ by the so-called ‘developed countries’. - (Foreign) technical assistance mainly concerned transferring (modern/western) knowledge and technologies.


Phase 2:

Aim at shifting from top-down, technocratic and economics-based interventionsto greater civil involvement. This pointed to the need for not just ‘technical’ assistance but also for ‘social’ assistance (Röling & De Zeeuw, 1983).

- Organizations operating at the meso level (e.g. associations, or service delivery NGOs), acted as intermediaries in reaching the ultimate target groups.

The main aim during this period was to assist these organizations in implementing their interventions, rather than focus on capacity building at the organizational level.


Phase 3:

Two main elements of support to partner organisations:

• Funding the implementation of development interventions by partners, in order to alleviate poverty, strengthen civil society and support advocacy and lobbying.

• Technical (TA) assistance to partner organisations aimed at organisational strengthening (OS), institutional development (ID) and human resource development (HRD).

Such support focuses on capacity building as a basic requirement for organisations to implement their projects/programmes effectively and efficiently.


- “Process of developing and strengthening the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that organizations and communities need to survive, adapt, and thrive in the fast-changing world."

Ann PhilbinCapacity Building in Social Justice Organizations

Ford Foundation, 1996

-Refers to activities that improve an organization’s ability to achieve its mission or a person’s ability to define and realize his/her goals or to do his/her job more effectively.
