    Projects - July 2011 to July 2015
    ODI's Development Progress aims to measure, understand and communicate where and how progress in development has happened. What are the latest methods we deploy to measure progress and why do they matter? What are the social, economic and political contexts that have facilitated and enabled progress in different countries? How do domestic and foreign resources contribute to financing progress? Building on phase one of this research - Development Progress: a library of stories - this four-year project explores these and other questions, with an aim to provide evidence for what’s worked and why over the past two decades.

  3. Capacity gaps at centres of government: coordination, implementation monitoring, communications and strategic planning in cost-conflict and fragile situations. Liberia case study

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 30 June 2011

Grounded on a political-economy approach, it also seeks to provide a better understanding of the incentives and disincentives for reform and capacity building in the centre of government in Liberia, and draws some lessons and recommendations for donors. The study is based on field work carried out in Liberia in November 2010 over the course of one week to interview key country-based stakeholders, as well as telephone interviews with other stakeholders.
