Institutional development is above all an exercise in social transformation and therefore needs ‘systemic’ support, taking account of the political, economic and cultural factors that may effect institutional performance.

Institutional development concentrates on capacity building, institutional reform and organisational development, optimising the formal and informal procedures of operations. It also stands in close relation with capacity building on donor culture and working methods.

The concept of institutional capacity development integrates many of the features of the traditional capacity building with governance and institutional micro-economics. In designing and implementing capacity development initiatives, more attention is devoted to the enabling environment (political, economic, and social) than in more traditional institutional development efforts. In addition, institutional capacity development combines quantitative and qualitative assessments consisting of baseline assessments and performance indicators with active efforts at stakeholder consultation..
