Development narratives in a post-aid era: Reflections on implications for the global effectiveness agenda

Author

  • Nilima Gulrajani

Abstract

This paper argues that the crisis facing the development effectiveness agenda is fundamentally derived from limited collective commitment to a singular model of development, one where a developed North serves as model and funder for a developing South. This is partly the reason for the lacklustre political support received by the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) that emerged from the 2011 Busan High Level Forum.
