SamenvattingThis paper provides a comparative analysis of more than 40 case stories and papers on ‘evidence’ from three leading organizations in the field of capacity development: INTRAC, SNV, and ECDPM. Starting from the assumption that capacity development indeed leads to development impact, it seeks to assess: (1) whether there are documented examples of this; and (2) how convincing these examples are. It makes the case for long-term engagement and regular (participatory) monitoring & evaluation over an extended period of time. Its conclusion is that development organizations and donors need to move away from their narrow focus on accountability to a broader focus on mutual learning. They should also stop looking for the perfect measurement policy and start measuring instead.
