Kuwait in the global conversation

By suitably tagging their content, stakeholders can contribute it to an open domestic and global conversation on Kuwait and the economic activities and functions of government in the country.

In a next step, these conversations can be analysed and shared and conflicting viewpoints can be curated in sector maps and maps of the functions of government, as part of your country's social capital wikis¹.

+ A Country's Initiative Book?

+ Constraints & Indicators?

+ Achieving Synergies across Initiatives?

- explanation

Achieving synergies across initiatives Initiative management is often the weakest link in the (strategy) execution chain. Traditional project and programme planning and communications approaches insufficiently use the bundling facilities that internet and wikis offer. As a precursor for an initiative atlas, a country initiative book aims to list all development initiatives and cluster them according to their COFOG classification. In this way, proponents and stakeholders of new initiatives can easily discover what initiatives exist already. Suitable cooperative agreements can be made and double or competing efforts can be avoided early in the planning cycle.

Initiatives of developing country governments must both avoid the fragmentation of public resources and ensure a sufficient coverage of all functions of government. An initiative book can support striking such a balance.

As indicated in Reform of the Multilateral Development System: Call for a High-Level Commission (J.F. Linn, The Brookings Institution) both the rapidly rising number of multilateral agencies, and the declining average project size reinforce the risks of aid fragmentation, a lack of focus on scaling up development impact, and rising transactions costs.

Initiative books, used both by the multilateral agencies and country development stakeholders will help mitigate the risks of aid fragmentation.
Moreover, when multilateral and national initiative books are complemented also by nested Development Dashboards, the smaller project size should not be overstraining the limited absorptive capacity of poor recipient countries, it should not lead to inefficient communications with stakeholders, and it could be coupled to a more equitable spreading of the public resources.
