Contingency Planning for Innovative Projects
The projects for educational reform and human resources development sponsored by international assistance organizations and governments in less developed countries have become more complex and innovative in recent years than they were in the past, and officials must implement them in uncertain and often unstable environments. Although planners give much attention to assessing the financial, economic, and technical aspects of those projects in the planning and design stages, they pay little attention to assessing the ability of public and private organizations in developing countries to manage reforms and implement innovations. Planners must be able to assess the appropriateness of management strategies in terms of the level of innovation the project requires, degree of uncertainty in the environment, and the cultural values of participants. A contingency approach to planning that analyzes management requirements of projects and management capacity of implementing agencies can reduce the gaps that lead to problems of implementation.
