dc.description.abstract | One of the main problems associated with aid is the proliferation of donors and
projects, and one of the main solutions is thought to lie in greater coordination
between donors. This paper examines whether progress has been made in recent
years, concentrating on two countries (Kenya and Indonesia) and two sectors
{aid for governance reform and aid for inclusive industrialization}. The overall
picture is clear: proliferation worsened between-2000 and 2005-6 while progress
in coordination was uneven. Important new findings concern the interdependence
of donor and intra-government coordination, especially the tendency for
fragmentation on both sides to work against coordination, and the similarity of
the overall experience of the two countries despite their different levels of economic
development. | en |
