A number of initiatives have been put forth over the last decade to improve quality in Norwegian schools. Many have been nationwide government-initiated programs. However, several studies express concern about the actual effect of these programs, and some also point to a lack of local anchoring and involvement of teachers. In this article, I draw on studies of one such program. Ungdomstrinn i utvikling (Lower Sec-ondary in Development) was a five-year school-based competence development program in more than 1200 lower-secondary level schools. We found that the local start-up phase and the co-determination of the teach-ers were crucial, and few schools drew on knowledge from the 1960s in Norway on how to organize dia-logue seminars so teachers might have a chance to participate in the local design of the program and estab-lish a shared understanding and knowledge of the challenges at hand. Instead, we found examples of a transaction perspective and an “order and deliver” model of competence development. I discuss this as a possible consequence of the influence of instrumental management theory and why the Nordic cooperation model, even though challenging for school leaders, local union representatives and teachers, would be a better approach to school development. Lastly, I argue that we should avoid historical amnesia and that we would probably be better off if we revived the knowledge from the 1960s and after on co-generation and collaboration.

Work target for Regional Coordinating Bodies (Badan Koordinasi Wilayah/Bakorwil) is not generally realized as it targeted. As an institution with main duties in government development program in the area, there is a strong need to increase Bakorwil Pamekasan personal competence. This article analyzes to what extent officer competence development in Bakorwil Pamekasan and to review factors that influence officer competence development. This research method used was descriptive qualitative. The sample was collected by purposive sampling technique. In this research, Head of Bakorwil Pamekasan, Secretary of Bakorwil, and all the head division in Bakorwil were choosen as informant. Findings show that competency development in Bakorwil had not yet entirely implemented. There are several factors that hinder the competency development, namely: trust and value, skill/expertness, experiences, personal characteristics, motivation, emotional issues and intellectual capacity. This research concludes that the competency development program was still limited to work meeting, technical meeting, congress, seminar, technical guidance, and workshop. Officer's knowledge about their responsibility and work programs were limited. Moreover, further understanding for work program implementation was not yet fully understood.

Social cooperation is critical to a wide variety of political and economic outcomes. For this reason, international donors have embraced interventions designed to strengthen the ability of communities to solve collective-action problems, especially in post-conflict settings. We exploit the random assignment of a development program in Liberia to assess the effects of such interventions. Using a matching funds experiment we find evidence that these interventions can alter cooperation capacity. However, we observe effects only in communities in which, by design, both men and women faced the collective action challenge. Focusing on mechanisms, we find evidence that program effects worked through improvements in mobilization capacity that may have enhanced communities’ ability to coordinate to solve mixed gender problems. These gains did not operate in areas where only women took part in the matching funds experiment, possibly because they could rely on traditional institutions unaffected by the external intervention. The combined evidence suggests that the impact of donor interventions designed to enhance cooperation can depend critically on the kinds of social dilemmas that communities face, and the flexibility they have in determining who should solve them.
