Description
International aid is about more than just money. This book explores the complexities and challenges involved in forging relationships that can make aid succeed or fail. It reveals the contradictions between power, accountability, and innovative efforts to create a more democratic world. The authors examine recent attempts by aid agencies to build lasting partnerships that transfer power to those at the receiving end of aid. They offer a practical framework for understanding relationships in the international aid system, drawing on organizational learning theory widely used in business. By exploring these issues, this book provides valuable insights into the dynamics of international development organizations and their efforts to create positive change.
