Aid effectiveness
- Harmonising aid without damaging democracy? The case of Peru
-
The Paris Declaration (PD) was long overdue - the predominance of conditionality in the aid environment has been harmful. However, with the PD's emphasis on aid partnerships between recipient governments and donors could other relevant local actors - and so the democratic process - suffer? This paper explores the effect of the new ‘aid harmonisation’ in Peru and offers ways to enhance aid delivery without damaging democracy.
