Title
Case study: Embedding reform and exiting: LASER’s application of the hourglass approach to achieve sustainable results
Abstract
This case study describes how LASER has gone about enabling systemic change and sustainable uptake
of reforms that address complex institutional problems in Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somaliland and
Uganda. In each of these countries LASER has designed-in a sustainable approach from the start based
on: (i) local ownership and leadership of reforms based on developing country (rather than donor)
priorities; (ii) use of country (rather than donor programme) systems; and (iii) an understanding that
the role of the donor / development practitioner is to support (rather than buy) reform. The case study
uses LASER’s hour glass methodology, illustrated with examples from LASER interventions, to show
how these principles guide LASER operations every step of the way.
