One of the key principles for effective aid programmes is that
recipient agencies exert high degrees of ownership over the
agendas, resources, systems and outcomes of aid activities.
Sovereign recipient states should lead the process of development.
Yet despite this well-recognised principle, the realities of aid
delivery mean that ownership is often compromised in practice. Aid,
Ownership and Development examines this 'inverse sovereignty'
hypothesis with regard to the states and territories of the Pacific
Island region. It provides an initial overview of different aid
'regimes' over time, maps aid flows in the region, and analyses the
concept of sovereignty. Drawing on a rich range of primary research
by the authors and contributors, it focuses on the agencies and
individuals within the Pacific Islands who administer and apply aid
projects and programmes. There is indeed evidence for the inverse
sovereignty effect; particularly when island states and their small
and stretched bureaucracies have to deal with complex and
burdensome donor reporting requirements, management systems,
consultative meetings and differing strategic priorities. This book
outlines important ways in which Pacific agencies have proved adept
not only at meeting these requirements, but also asserting their
own priorities and ways of operating. It concludes that global
agreements, such as the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness in
2005 and the recently launched Sustainable Development Goals, can
be effective means for Pacific agencies to both hold donors to
account and also to recognise and exercise their own sovereignty.
