A new journal article published in the Development Policy Review by John Wiley & Sons Ltd argues that the Global Alliance effectively responds to widespread frustration with fragmented aid systems with pragmatic, flexible matchmaking linking national policy demands to international partners.
Its authors, Thiago Lima, Professor at the Department of International Relations of the Federal University of Paraiba (UFPB) and Adriana Erthal Abdenur, Co-founder of Plataforma CIPÓ state, “The Alliance exemplifies a “post-aid” approach to development cooperation, based on coordination, evidence-based policy-making, and shared ownership. Policy-makers should support such adaptive, coalition-based mechanisms that improve effectiveness within the constraints of fragmented global governance.”
