HOW DOES ACBF INTEND TO IMPLEMENT COUNTRY PROGRAMS UNDER ITS STRATEGIC MEDIUM TERM PLAN?
In developing country programs, the Foundation will be mindful of the need to intervene in countries where capacity needs are greatest, but which also provide intervention-friendly environment. While it will not necessarily constrain countries to meet specific conditions for intervention, it would encourage those that are committed to developing, reviewing and updating country capacity profiles to enable the Foundation to track evolving capacity needs and the responsiveness of such needs to ongoing interventions; institutional, economic and socio-political reforms, which provide a conducive environment for effective intervention in the capacity building process; sound, transparent and accountable budgetary processes and financial management practices; good governance that is built on participation by development stakeholders at the national level; and growth with effective programs for poverty reduction.
