    Introduction:

    CAPES, was developed and appraised as predecessor to a Country level Knowledge Network (CLKNET) for which the Government of Burkina requested the Foundation to take the lead in collaboration with other donors. The first phase of CAPES began in August 2002 with a grant of US$ 1 600 000 from ACBF. During this phase, CAPES succeeded in building significant national capacity in policy analysis and development management in key ministries in charge of economic affairs. As a result, CAPES has established considerable credibility within Government and among the donor community. A second grant of US$ 1 700 000 was made for the second phase of the project which commenced in July 2008 and is expected to close in November 2010. Under the second phase, particular emphasis has been placed on strengthening capacity to underpin the implementation of Burkina Faso’s Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy (CSLP-II).

    Project Description:

    The goal of CAPES was to improve economic management, participatory and evidence-based policymaking in Burkina Faso.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
