In 1996, the World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, declared that
his organization would henceforth be "the knowledge bank." This
statement marks the beginning in earnest of a new discourse of
knowledge-based aid, which has spread rapidly across the
development field. This book is the first detailed attempt to
analyze this new discourse and practice. Through an examination of
four agencies--the World Bank, the British Department for
International Development, the Japan International Cooperation
Agency and the Swedish International Development Cooperation
Agency--the book explores what this new approach to aid means in
both theory and practice. It argues that too much of the emphasis
of knowledge-based aid has been on developing capacity within
agencies rather than addressing the expressed needs of Southern
"partners." Moreover, it questions whether knowledge-based aid
leads to greater agency certainty about what constitutes good
development.
