Overview
Aid effectiveness remains a global concern, especially given most developing countries’ reliance on foreign aid for their development efforts. The aid effectiveness agenda, shaped by a series of international conferences, declarations, and high-level forums, notably the Paris Declaration, sought to transform global aid practices. This book offers a detailed examination of the global aid effectiveness agenda in the context of Bangladesh, one of the world’s leading aid recipients. Drawing on significant in-depth interviews and a wide range of robust document analysis, it presents empirical evidence on how the global aid effectiveness agenda fails when implemented at the country level, particularly in developing economies such as Bangladesh. The findings of this volume contribute to the understanding of development cooperation in aid-dependent contexts and provide scholarly insights into devising actionable strategies to improve coordination and enhance aid effectiveness in recipient countries. It is intended for scholars and postgraduate students in economics, development studies, political science, public administration, social welfare, sociology, international relations, and area studies. It will also be intriguing to policymakers, practitioners, donor agency officials, and other stakeholders involved in aid administration and management.
