MSPs Service Delivery and State Institutions in DR Congo
Policy Implication Note
The international donor community, including the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, increasingly recognizes that development is crucially dependent on governance dynamics and structures. State-building is approached as a variable of a balanced and resilient state-society interaction. A key insight here is that state-building in fragile situations depends as much on state legitimacy as it does on capacity. State institutions need not only be capable to fulfil their tasks regarding service delivery, but also need to be perceived as fulfilling these tasks and fulfilling them satisfactorily.
This Policy Implication Note presents four core recommendations – concerning objectives, partners and processes – for international donors engaging with service delivery MSPs in DR Congo.
