Organizing for Aid Effectiveness: A Multi-Case Study of U.S. Foreign Aid Delivery Models.

摘要

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has advanced an agenda to improve the effectiveness of foreign aid delivery and receipt which has yielded universally accepted principles of aid effectiveness presented in the Paris Declaration for Aid Effectiveness. This research applies postmodern organizational theory to an analysis of the organizing principles and implementing practices of three U.S. aid delivery models: the traditional Agency for International Development (USAID) model, the incentivizing Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) model, and the inter-agency Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) model to reveal the disconnects between U.S. foreign aid policy and its performance.
