La coordination de l’aide: Un objectif aux présupposés contestables

Abstract: This article discusses the idea, which has become dominant among donors, that increasing the coordination of development aid would be an appropriate target in order to improve efficiency. First, we review donors' initial observation about why aid is ineffective. Second, we present the agenda of coordination resulting directly from these findings. We then critique the work that established and legitimated the agenda of coordination. Finally, we show how the limits of this work, which have largely been overlooke… Show more

“…Coordination is now a guiding principle in helping to resolve the problem of aid fragmentation.

“…Despite the fact that most literature on aid coordination deals with the costs of non-coordinated aid, a second body of literature within this field focuses on the obstacles to greater levels of coordination. Works in this specific field point out to the fact that coordination is expensive, not cost-free in economic and political terms, and difficult due to the diversity of donors’ motivations, whatever they may be (Barder, 2009; Barry and Bodin, 2012; Bigsten, 2006; Delputte and Orbie, 2014; Fengler and Kharas, 2010; Hartmann, 2011; Karamakalov, 2011; Svensson, 2006; Winters, 2012). Besides recipient needs or merits, in development cooperation donors’ features, values and interests are also at play (Annen and Moers, 2012; Bourguignon and Platteau, 2015; Broberg, 2011; Fuchs et al ., 2015; Schulz, 2007; Steinwand, 2015).…”
