Effectiveness of aid coordination initiatives; an aid operators’ perspective

Abstract

The debate on aid effectiveness has evolved into the core of multilateral and bilateral assistance. Proliferations of donors and aid fragmentation have caused tangible difficulties on achieving aid effectiveness. Though ample of global and country level aid coordination initiatives targeting aid effectiveness are getting momentum, aid operators seem to be not scientifically convinced to commit to the aid harmonization and alignment. This research sought to study the effectiveness of aid coordination on effective and efficient implementation aid programmes by the aid operators. Twenty one randomly selected organizations were studied and it has been found that an aid operating organization will achieve higher degree of aid effectiveness if it implements the aid with higher degree of harmonization and alignment.
