Abstract

This article reviews the results of efforts in five countries to build a national capacity to analyze social policy; these efforts were undertaken in conjunction with Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) projects. Case studies for Bolivia, Jamaica, the Kyrgyz Republic, South Africa, and Vietnam show that building such capacity requires explicit planning, significant time and money, open access to data, and strong support from policymakers. Lessons are drawn about four aspects of building capacity--training, technical assistance, research, and recruitment. The lessons learned from these LSMS projects apply in a more general sense to other kinds of capacity-building projects. Copyright 1999 by Oxford University Press.

利用住户调查建立分析能力

本文回顾了五个国家为建立分析社会政策的国家能力所做努力的结果;这些努力是与生活水平衡量调查(LSMS)项目一起进行的。对玻利维亚、牙买加、吉尔吉斯共和国、南非和越南的案例研究表明，建设这种能力需要明确的规划、大量的时间和资金、开放的数据获取以及政策制定者的大力支持。从能力建设的四个方面得出了经验教训——培训、技术援助、研究和招聘。从这些LSMS项目中吸取的经验教训在更普遍的意义上适用于其他类型的能力建设项目。牛津大学出版社1999年版权所有。

期刊介绍： The World Bank Journals, including the Research Observer, boast the largest circulation among economics titles. The Research Observer is distributed freely to over 9,100 subscribers in non-OECD countries. Geared towards informing nonspecialist readers about research within and outside the Bank, it covers areas of economics relevant for development policy. Intended for policymakers, project officers, journalists, and educators, its surveys and overviews require only minimal background in economic analysis. Articles are not sent to referees but are assessed and approved by the Editorial Board, including distinguished economists from outside the Bank. The Observer has around 1,500 subscribers in OECD countries and nearly 10,000 subscribers in developing countries.
