Building or Bypassing Recipient Country Systems: Are Donors Defying the Paris Declaration?
研究检验2005年《巴黎宣言》后捐助者是否增加了对受援国体系的使用,发现体系质量与使用率正相关,但质量仅能解释部分差异,且捐助者行为存在异质性。
The 2005 Paris Declaration committed donors to increased use of recipient country systems for managing aid, particularly in countries with higher-quality systems. Using indicators explicitly endorsed by the Paris Declaration and covering the 2005-2010 period, this study finds a positive, significant, and robust relationship between quality of systems and their use by donors. Thus, donors appear to have modified at least some of their aid practices in ways that build rather than undermine administrative capacity and accountability mechanisms in recipient countries. However, quality of systems explains a relatively small share of the variation in their use, and there is considerable heterogeneity among donors in their use of country systems, and in their sensitivity to quality of systems.
