Most often capacity building intiatives fall short of reaching the final delivery stage. This results in a mismatch between the capacity levels of the public and private sectors. Too much emphasis on strengthening the public sector sometimes leaves a very small group of private sector players thus limiting competition and overstretching by the established players. Entry of newer players and hencce innovation in project delivery become a casualty sometimes.

I feel there is lot in common in these experiences and allows us all to learn from sectoral and project experiences.
