It was conceived as an African institution designed to forge partnerships between African governments and the international donor community to help build critically needed development capacities in support of the reforms. It has evolved as the leading African institution in Africa in the areas of capacity and capacity development.\u00a0 This presentation will provide a brief background and introduction of ACBF\u2019s Africa Capacity Indicators (ACI) and the Africa Capacity Indicators Reports (ACIR).\u00a0 It will summarize some of the key findings, policy and research implications, and lessons so far learnt. Looking ahead, the presentation will identify some of the challenges of producing indicators in general, and ACI in particular.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nMoses Kiggundu <\/strong>is Professor of Management and International Business at the Sprott School of Business, Carleton University.
