 A Battle of WillsMichael McWilliam Chapter 21 in The Development Business, 2001, pp 220-225 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract As already noted, Reynolds quickly established a good relationship with ODA, which was cemented by the collaborative atmosphere of the Strategy Review process. This was fortunate because he inherited a simmering dispute between the Board of CDC and ODA that put the relationship under considerable strain for two years. The origins went back to the 1986 Quinquennial Review when, as we have seen, ODA made a play to have direct representation on the Board of CDC, as a means of having a more direct influence on improving its development impact. This was strongly resisted, so that the Report had to record ‘No agreement could be reached on whether the ODA should be represented on the CDC Board’1 and the issue was referred to Ministers. Although CDC was informed in writing that the government favoured the appointment of an ODA official to the Board, the Secretary of State was left in no doubt that the Board ‘are seriously worried that it would change the nature of CDC’s relations and accountability to government’. 2 CDC was also confident that the change could not be enforced without legislation and the issue was allowed to lapse.
