Scaling Up for Greater Impact Through Weak Public Institutions – Possible Solutions

Responding to the challenges of fragility requires sustainably meeting basic needs for hundreds of millions of the most vulnerable people, managing shocks and addressing root causes of fragility and conflict. None of these challenges can be properly addressed without working at scale. This session discussed challenges and opportunities to scaling up actions for stronger resilience to complex crisis in the context of weak institutions and trust in government. In particular, it discussed different modalities for delivery at scale in FCV contexts, such as by mobilizing non-state actors like traditional authorities or private sector to scale up development solutions; how different administrative models (centralized vs. decentralized) impact scalability; and how to approach the challenge of coordination for scalability in FCV settings which are often characterized by multiple, complex and sometimes competitive networks of actors. Remaining engaged is necessary to have impactful service delivery and to ensure no one is left behind. Invest in the capacity building of local institutions and government at the central and as well as subnational levels of government so governments can transition into efficient public service delivery can resume as the country rebuilds after conflicts. Strengthen local institutions before, after and during the crisis as part of the crisis responsiveness. Ensure availability and stability of financing. Availability of financing is important in scaling up once a model seems to work. This also implies taking more risks. Development strategies and accelerated agendas serve as roadmaps for government intervention. Solutions should be mutually reinforcing around government priorities. Each sector is a priority, but the government roadmap must be the guiding force in resources allocation. Transforming the public sector is the foundation for impactful development and for making service delivery more efficient. Technology must be used in the scaling up approach. This requires that the public sector works with the private sector so technology, innovation and infrastructure can be utilized to scale up services which support human development, where everything must be taken into account, including education, health, food security and employment among others. Partnership is important as no stakeholders can work alone. As such, it is important to mutualize comparative advantages. Climate change should not be neglected. Indeed, when conflict happens, there is a lot of destruction which leads to contamination (water, air, etc. makes it difficult for refugees and IDPs to return). In addition to the focus on social development and reconstruction, it is important to make land livable for populations.
