The Hard Challenge of Aid Coordination
Aid coordination 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 coordination, 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 coordination among donor countries. In particular, it deals with: a) the issue of consistently and collectively handling possible governance failures in recipient countries; and b) the impact of heterogeneity of donor countries on the effectiveness of aid coordination.
