“…As shown in Table 1, while different terminologies are used to refer to capacity, it is important to stress that the concept has grown to encompass trainings not only for organizational and systematic layers of a framework or system, but also for individual-level matters, particularly human resource development (UNDP, 1998). In practice, individual and organizational levels of capacity development tend to receive more attention than the systematic layer, as the system's transformation originates in the development of individual and organizational capacity (Lyu & So, 2020). 1…”

“…The questionnaires were semi-structured around effectiveness. In addition, the interviewees were part of two research projects that the author participated in as part of the ongoing research of the Korea Institute of Public Administration on capacity-building trainings, namely A study on civil service capacity development reflecting the quality of government in new southern countries (Lyu & So, 2020) and "Research on capacity building training for public leadership of civil servants in developing countries" (So & Eun, 2021). The list of 23 interviewees and the abbreviated version of the semi-structured interview questions are detailed in Tables A2 and Table A3 in the Appendix, respectively.…”

MotivationPrevious studies on the effectiveness of capacity building training, drawn from the experience of traditional donors, have been limited in their understanding the impact of the diversity of trainees and the diversity of training on the effectiveness of training. This is particularly problematic given the increasing prevalence of such training and the emergence of new donors with different approaches.PurposeThis article investigates the effectiveness of capacity‐building training across different participants and different training types, through the case of an emerging donor, the Republic of Korea (Korea). Korea is distinctive and under‐researched as a country relatively late to join the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC), with several policies explicitly locating capacity‐building training as a diplomatic strategy. Korea has made repeated efforts to diversify participants and types of training to gain a comparative advantage in international development and co‐operation.Methods and ApproachThe study constructs a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) to analyse the effectiveness of training across layers of individual diversity (gender, rank, level of national income and extent of democracy) and group diversity (types of trainings). It draws on survey responses from 789 government officials in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs).FindingsTraining effectiveness differs for diverse participants and training types. Effectiveness tends to decrease as job rank and national income rise, while it increases with the level of democracy. Training that fosters diverse interactions and experiences, such as multi‐country training and invitational training, tends to be more effective than other types.Policy ImplicationsOur results suggest implementing more collaborative and customized training to suit the heterogeneous needs of diverse participants. The results emphasize the need to develop and operate various training types that promote diverse interactions and experiences among participants.

“…Most of these suggest inadequate attention to context and needs assessment, and include: (i) high levels of turnover in public bodies; (ii) stand-alone training, rather than being integrated in wider programmes of administrative capacity-building; (iii) an over-emphasis on training for EU accession processes; and (iv) a narrow understanding of the actors with influence on policy transfer, particularly the informal networks of bureaucrats, contractors and civil society actors. Beyond the region, Lyu et al (2022) consider the link between the quality of government and the outcomes of civil service training in south-east Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Indonesia) and suggest that the former is not necessarily a result of training programmes but rather an independent variable that affects training effectiveness.…”

The Effectiveness of Training in Building Capacity for Governance Reform

This rapid evidence review examines the effectiveness of individual training in building capacity for governance reform, focusing on state and democratic governance in middle- to low-income countries. The report reviewed both academic and grey literature on different areas of intervention that fall within the two broad categories of state and democratic governance. While evidence from the Eastern Neighbourhood was scarce, broader findings suggest that purposeful, problem-centered high-quality training is more likely to contribute to governance reform when sustained. However, the review acknowledges challenges in assessing training impacts and highlights gaps in addressing gender and disability considerations within training interventions, underscoring the need for tailored approaches to meet diverse needs and promote inclusive governance reform.

“…A part of cadres and civil servants has weak policy management capacity and skills, they are not ready to perform their duties, which is a negative factor that greatly affects the effectiveness of policy implementation in training and retraining civil servant care (Witesman and Wise, 2009). Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the current implementation of public policies, we should strongly and synchronously renew all stages of cadre and civil servant work in order to build a contingent of cadres and civil servants to ensure in terms of quality and capacity (Hyeon-Suk et al, 2022). Economic, political, cultural, and social environmental factors affect 0.173 the policy of training and fostering civil servants of Khmer ethnic minorities in the Mekong Delta.…”

The Khmer ethnic minority civil servants in the Mekong Delta have an important role. They are the ones who deploy and implement the state's policies and laws for the people, and they directly manage the society in the region with order, stability, and development. Cadres and civil servants of Khmer ethnic minorities are the bridge between the state and the people, they reflect the people's legitimate thoughts and aspirations for the state. The study aims to explore the factors affecting the policy of training and fostering civil servants of Khmer ethnic minorities in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Research data were collected from survey results by questionnaires from 875 survey samples in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Research results in the SEM model show that there are six factors affecting the policy of training and fostering civil servants of ethnic Khmer people in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, including Objectives and content of the policy; Resources for policy implementation; Coordinate policy implementation; The capacity of policy enforcement agencies; Economic, political, cultural, and social environment; Awareness and capacity of policy beneficiaries. From the research results, a number of contents are discussed and proposed to contribute to improving the quality of implementation of policies on training and fostering civil servants of Khmer ethnic minorities in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.
