Summary Positive support to better government requires aid agencies mainly to engage in ‘institutional development’, or ‘institution building’ activities. The article discusses four sets of problems that arise for aid agencies: the fact that they are not very good at supporting institution building; the frailty of the technical assistance mechanisms available to support institution building; the threat that the newly?fashionable term ‘capacity building’ will confuse the debate and inhibit effective action; and fact that successful promotion of institution building may require aid agency staff to intervene directly and effectively in the internal affairs of recipient nations.
