Abstract
Dette projekt undersøgte et tilfælde af mislykket kapacitetsopbygning i et Interreg-program. Sagen blev undersøgt gennem et kritisk realistisk perspektiv med en retroduktiv metode. Data blev indsamlet gennem interviews og gennemgang af dokumenter. Startende med to arbejdshypoteser blev årsagsmekanismer afsløret, og der blev fremsat nogle anbefalinger til organisationen for at sikre, at fremtidige kapacitetsopbyggende aktiviteter ville give bedre resultater.
This project examined a case of failed capacity-building occuring at an Interreg programme. The case was examined through a critical realist perspective, with a retroductive method. Data was gathered through interviews and document review. Starting with two working hypotheses, causal mechanisms were uncovered and some recommendations were made to the organisation in order to ensure that future capacity-building activities would yield better results.
