Managing aid : practices of DAC member countries

Development cooperation donors are held accountable for the way they manage aid and the development results they achieve. They want to see more partner country ownership, greater use of partner country systems, and work better together. This involves decentralizing responsibility, concentrating efforts, managing for results, creating new systems, changing staff profiles, and building capacity in donor and partner countries. This book outlines what individual donors are doing to fulfill their development cooperation ambitions and their part of the international agreements to make aid more effective.--Publisher's description
