Abstract:

Aid coordination is in a constant theme of discussion among national and international aid agencies in their search for more effectiveness and efficiency in delivering development assistance. Not only at the international scope but also at the national and regional scales, coordination always seems to be cumbersome when it comes to donations and charity issues. In this study it is tried to sketch out literature in the domain of international aid and with a solution finding of both theoretical and conceptual approaches to the problems that hinder coordination amongst donors and aid agencies are laid out to be analyzed and scrutinized. One of the main arguments is that lack of coordination not only does spoil market resilience in the recipient country but also hamper ecosystem and investment climate that make poor countries more and more aid-dependent. It is concluded that the stakeholders of donors and funding institutions have their own agendas in which coordination with other donors does not seem to be a priority.
