Executive Summary
The development of local consultants is a key component of capacity building. The study, Capacity Building and Support to African Consultants in the Private Sector reports that local consultants tend to fare well with modest-size projects in soft domains, and are frequently hired for small projects handled locally where domain and area-specific knowledge is required. However, clients are reluctant to use local consultants when the work is particularly important (e.g., projects in hard domains, critical consulting tasks), and this is reinforced when aid is tied.
