Short Abstract:

The focus of Aid has shifted and new challenges to human and environmental well-being necessitate new ways of working such as 'Cooperation'. What is the effect of these on relationships between donors and development actors and how is development cooperation initiated and managed at the micro-level?

Long Abstract:

The focus of Aid has shifted and new challenges to human and environmental well-being necessitate new ways of working such as 'Cooperation'. We look at the effect of these on the relationships between donors and multiple development actors and ask how development cooperation is initiated and managed at the micro-level. Our specific focus is the behavior and competencies of implementers of development projects, for example, their ability to establish meaningful partnerships. It welcomes qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research related to development successes and failures and the role of participatory and ethical behaviours in this process. Proposed papers on participatory and cooperative approaches within development can come from a critical 'aidnography' tradition, or a more applied one; one of the aims of the panel is to bring these into dialogue. Papers can address any or all of the following: the extent to which cooperative and participatory practices have been adopted within development, specifically in relation to the ownership of agendas; the nature of interactions between donors, implementers and recipients; the competencies required for more participatory ways of working; and the challenges in formulating and meeting long term strategic objectives where leadership is more diffuse. Practitioners are encouraged to contribute with real cases from the field. We invite PhD students and early career researchers working on these topics to apply to get critical insights on their work. Presenters are asked to submit 3-4 page draft papers/ notes in advance of their presentation, which will be shared with other participants to foster dialogue.
