Abstract
The article examines the current debate surrounding ‘aid coordination’ amongst bilateral and multilateral donors in their efforts to increase aid efficiency in sub‐Saharan Africa. It analyses critiques of the current international aid regime and details the new consensus on ‘partnership’. The article goes on to outline a set of ideal‐type conditions as prerequisites for effective coordination between donors and recipients with a view to a more equitable relationship. Specifically, conditions among donors, within the developing countries, and in the dynamic relationship between the two are examined, using the Canadian International Development Agency's (CIDA) experience as a participant in the Strategic Partnership with Africa (SPA) as an illustration of the ways in which these conditions are, or can be, played out at the policy coordination level, as well as in practice.
