Abstract: 'Country ownership' continues to grow more as an idealized requirement than an operational concept for effective development co-operation. Provider countries often shy away from taking onboard recipient countries' development priorities, public financial management and procurement systems, results frameworks, and monitoring mechanisms. Based on the outputs of a research programme, this paper reviews the experience of six countries from three continents regarding the application of the concept of 'ownership' at the sectoral level in the respective countries.
