Reports urge private partnerships FERNANDO FERNHOLZ for successful nation building Rethinking Development The U.S.Something Department of State Here published two policy research reports by Duke Center for International Development Senior Research Scholar Policy Workshop Dennis A. Rondinelli. The two policy research papers review world- wide experience with attempts by international financial assistance or- ganizations and development agencies to strengthen public management capacity in countries recovering from internal violence and civil war. The State Department’s U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) commissioned Rondinelli to assess the effectiveness of using indirect channels for enhancing management, such as public-private partnerships and other “parallel” organizational structures. Rondi- nelli, who joined DCID in 2005, has been a consultant to the State Department and the USAID for more than 30 years. His latest research reports focus on an aspect of nation building that has become a high priority in U.S. foreign aid policy over the past two decades.
