The Hard Challenge of Aid Co-Ordination

No wp-2013-073, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Aid co-ordination is a constant theme of discussion among national and international aid agencies in their search for more effectiveness and efficiency in delivering development assistance. This paper seeks to clarify some of the arguments currently made in support of aid co-ordination, and to precise unavoidable trade-offs born of the existence of political costs. It is anchored in the available literature on aid delivery while focusing on the implementation problems of aid co-ordination among donor countries.
