“…Although researchers have given considerable attention to international donor coordination (de Renzio et al, 2004;Rogerson, 2005;Bigsten, 2006;Menocal and Mulley, 2006;Hyden, 2008;Hayman,engagement with coordination. Consequently, this article contributes to the growing research on the EU's role as an international development actor (cf.…”

The proliferation of aid donors and channels for aid and the resulting fragmentation brings about huge costs for developing and donor countries and has a detrimental effect on the impact of aid. Coordination is presented as a strategy to help resolve this problem and has been at the top of the development agenda in the past decade. The EU has on many occasions expressed its ambition to foster this agenda and strengthen internal EU coordination. However, the few existing contemporary studies suggest that the implementation of coordination is fairly low. This article seeks to understand this gap through an empirical analysis of EU coordination in Tanzania and Zambia. The findings reveal that the EU's internal and external coordination role has indeed been limited. It is argued that challenges to EU coordination can partly be explained by institutional factors, but that ideational and political elements should also be considered in order to gain a more profound understanding.La prolifération de donateurs d'aide et de mécanismes de développement et la fragmentation qui en résulte génèrent des coûts considérables aussi bien pour les pays en voie de développement que pour les pays donateurs et ont un effet néfaste sur l'impact de l'aide. Au cours de la dernière décennie, la coordination, vue comme stratégie pour résoudre ces problèmes, se situait en haut de l'agenda de la politique de développement internationale. À maintes reprises l'UE a exprimé son ambition de stimuler cet agenda et de renforcer la coordination interne au sein de l'UE. Mais les rares études contemporaines suggèrent que la mise en oeuvre de la coordination a été très faible. Cet article cherche à comprendre ce gap au moyen d'une analyse empirique de la coordination de l'UE en Tanzanie et en Zambie. Les résultats révèlent qu'effectivement le rôle de coordination interne et externe de l'UE dans les pays susmentionnés a été limité. Il est clair que les défis pour la coordination de la part de l'UE peuvent être expliqués partiellement par des facteurs institutionnels, mais qu'il faut aussi tenir compte de facteurs idéationnels et politiques pour arriver à une compréhension plus approfondie.

“…But such an assessment is severely complicated by the difficulty of measuring both concepts, and by their variation within agencies and over time, not least because of their mutual interdependence (Waterman and Meier, 1998). This article explores an alternative perspective on aid effectiveness as both a highly complex problem and one that is deeply and unavoidably political (see, for example, Killick, 2004;Hyden, 2008;Haymen, 2009;Booth, 2011). It does so by exploring how, and how well, donor activities are informed by effective political-economy analysis (PEA).…”

“…More fundamentally, attempting to reconcile the case for enhancing 'domestic ownership' of policies without necessarily abandoning their own views prompted closer engagement with local policy processes (Hyden, 2008). In addition, the World Bank frameworks attempt to respond to criticism of DoC (elaborated below in Section 2.2) for being short on guidance about how to use PEA to inform programme strategies.…”

“…He focuses on the growing fragmentation amongst donor agencies, clearly stating that the current approach to development under PD faces considerable weaknesses to its successful implementation. Hyden (2008Hyden ( , 2009 sheds light on the PD and its usability as a practical roadmap to enhance aid effectiveness from a more political power perspective. His analysis points out a difference in perceptions amongst the donor community and the partner country community in relation to the PD principles.…”
