Abstract

This study examines what drives success in the implementation of international reconstruction and development aid projects in a post‐conflict environment. It tests a novel explanatory model using an original data set of 124 projects implemented in Afghanistan. Study results highlight that the national (recipient) government's political support and the quality of international project leadership consistently influence project success. In combination, these two factors not only make projects more likely to succeed but allow achieving the highest rates of success.The qualitative findings add to the conventional ‘instrumental’ qualities of leadership the qualities of ‘moral’ leadership, such as the ability to build trust and respect with national counterparts based on the record of competence, dedication and delivery.
