Getting higher returns from technical assistance through better management
A swift analysis of international technical coopération in the last thirty years shows the ineffectiveness of really considerable amounts of aid. The recipient countries feel that this aid is usually imposed without taking their needs into consideration, resulting in a chaotic proliferation of projects and programmes that are inadequately matched to their realities. For the donor countries, weak decision-making mechanisms and concentration of power are behind the rise of an inefficient bureaucracy. To ensure that the results and objectives of technical assistance have long-lasting impact, a sweeping reform of the public sector has to be carried out. Each operation should correspond to a real need, be given political backing, be based on a real dialogue between récipients and donors, and be accompanied by an évaluation. What counts is the cumulative effect of technical assistance. Self-reliance in development management can only be achieved in a climate of partnership, where developing countries themselves administer the technical aid they receive as a démonstration of their ability to manage development.
