(CD), including technical assistance (TA) and training, is one of the three core pillars of the Fund’s work. Its main objective is to help member countries build institutions and capacity necessary to formulate and implement sound economic and financial policies. The Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) was established in 2012 with a specific mandate to further define and develop the Fund's strategy on capacity building and provide a clear institutional framework to bring the coordination and oversight over TA and training activities under one umbrella, while building on partnerships with donors. The Fund’s capacity development strategy was last discussed by the Board in June 2013, and the Board subsequently endorsed the 2014 statement on IMF Policies and Practices on Capacity Development. The 2018 review of the CD strategy will include backward- and forward-looking components: The backward-looking component will consider the prioritization, funding, monitoring and evaluation, and delivery of CD as set out in the 2014 statement. The forward-looking component will provide the opportunity to outline reforms to increase the impact of CD. Emphasis will be on making CD more effective and efficient while building on its existing strengths. Conclusions from the 2018 review will be reflected in a revised statement on IMF Policies and Practices on Capacity Development.

Section A explores the importance of institutions for growth, and the role the Fund can play in building institutions. Section B presents stylized facts about how the landscape for CD has changed since the late 1990s. Section C discusses the difficulties of analyzing CD data because of measurement issues. Section D provides a longer-term perspective on how Fund CD has responded to member needs. Section E contains information on previous efforts to prioritize CD, assesses Regional Strategy Notes (RSNs) and country pages, and suggests ways to strengthen RSNs, including by using the Fund’s surveillance products. Section F compares the technical assistance (TA) funding model proposed in the 2011

Penelitianini menggunakan tiga pendekatan yaitu: studi kepustakaan, observasi dan survei serta ParticipatoryRural Appraisal (PRA). Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis rating scale, analisisstudi kelayakan dan analisis SWOT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mata pencaharian alternatif yangsangat layak dikembangkan (Prioritas 1) adalah budidaya rumput laut sedangkan layak dikembangkan(Prioritas 2) adalah home industry, kerupuk ikan dan bertanam sayur. Saran dan strategi yang perludiperhatikan antara lain melakukan sosialiasi, penyuluhan dan pelatihan teknis usaha pada prioritas1 dan prioritas 2 dengan harapan masyarakat terutama nelayan saat tidak melaut tetap meningkatkanpendapatan ekonomi namun tidak melakukan kegiatan destruktif. Selain itu perlu dibentuk kelembagaanpengelolaan (kelompok) mata pencaharian alternatif di TWP Laut Banda sebagai pelopor yang akanmenularkan kemampuannya dalam usaha kepada masyarakat lainnya. Perlu mendapatkan dukungandan fasilitasi dari pemerintah, terkait dengan mata pencaharian alternatif yang akan dikembangkanseperti pendampingan teknis dan membangun pola kemitraan bisnis untuk memperoleh penyediaanmodal dan akses pasar yang lebih luas mengingat sangat sulit akses transportasi di TWP Laut Banda.Title: Identification and Development Strategy of Alternative Livelihoodfor Welfare Society in Water Park of Banda SeaThis study aims to assess the potential of natural resources and human resource profile in TWPBanda Sea and then determine the Alternative Livelihood (MPA) in TWP Banda Sea.

Japan has been well-known due to its advanced technology innovation particularly in the field of industrial technology. Some Japanese manufactures that based on technological development have become the main supplier of high-technology goods in many countries in the world most importantly in Asia. Since 1970s, Japan government has implemented its foreign assistance called Official Development Assistance (ODA) to developing countries including Indonesia. Japan has assisted the developing countries through its export-credit program. This paper will discuss the effectiveness of ODA and its implementation. In the first part of this paper, it will elaborate the history and structure of Japan’s ODA. In the next part, it will also explain the successful achievement of this program. Besides, it will also examine whether or not the implementation of this assistance has effectively reached its target and goals. The understanding of essential component of development strategy to increase the ODA’s effectiveness is related with the usage of that assistance in the recipient country. This perception is in line with Kevin Morrison (2000) saying the four elements of foreign assistance’s effectiveness particularly the technical assistance of Japan.

Limited Effectiveness

Abstract This paper argues for greater application of adult learning theory in capacity development for water agencies in developing countries. Although the need for capacity development is clear, we believe its delivery, especially through ‘technical assistance’ projects, is of limited effectiveness. In the authors' experience, this limited effectiveness is due to the mismatch between intention and delivery. This may be due to inappropriate objective setting, lack of focus in training delivery and poor cultural awareness, reinforced by an unchallenged, ineffective model of teaching. A more collaborative and adult learner focused approach can help to define the learner's current situation and identify the learning methods that suit them best. Although the effectiveness of capacity development has many factors, the diligent application of well-tested adult learning practices and culturally appropriate learning methods can give positive results. This paper describes five principles for improving capacity development in developing countries. Those principles are: structural alignment of learning, culturally appropriate learning methods, active learning methods, learning trajectories and ‘water specialist as andragogist’. The paper describes and evaluates three case studies of capacity building activities, where these principles were applied either in a deliberate structured approach or through happy accident.
