7.5.1 Institutional specialisation: Institutional design and capacity building
   

The debate about specialist training versus multi-purpose organisations offering a range of services to the poor is still unresolved. According to Grierson and McKenzie (1996), attempts to provide multiple support services are neither efficient nor effective. "Integrated packages of services seldom work well, are prohibitively expensive, are extremely difficult to staff and manage, and, in any case, cannot hope to reach the huge and growing number of aspiring entrepreneurs. Cost and complexity make sustainability unlikely" (op. cit: 24). Proponents of this view argue that technical and management training are specialised activities and that training institutions should, therefore, concentrate on training in close co-operation and co-ordination with other organisations providing other key services. However, developing effective networks of support institutions is likely to be very difficult in many countries, especially in remoter rural areas. It is precisely for this reason that multi-purpose centres have been established in some countries (for example, Zambia).
