The End of ODA (II): The Birth of Hypercollective Action
The development business has become much more complex in the past decade, with actors proliferating and collaboration fragmenting. This trend is characteristic of the change from collective action to what the authors term hypercollective action. Such a shift brings new energy and resources to international development, but also more difculty managing global public policy. Severino and Ray use the lessons of the Paris Declarationâ[euro]\" the first large-scale effort to coordinate hypercollective actionâ[euro]\"as a starting point for envisioning a new conceptual framework to manage the complexity of current international collaboration. They offer concrete suggestions to improve the management of global policies, including new ways to share information, align the goals of disparate actors, and create more capable bodies for international collaboration.[Working Paper No. 218]
Paper
The End of ODA: Death and Rebirth of a Global Public Policy
The world of international development assistance is undergoing three concomitant revolutions, which concur to the emergence of a truly global policy. First, it is living through a diversification of the goals it is asked to pursue: to its traditional objective of ushering convergence between less and more developed economies have progressively been adjoined those of financing access to essential services and protecting global public goods. Secondly, faced with this new array of challenges, the world of development aid has demonstrated an impressive capacity to increase the number and diversity of its players, generating a governance conundrum for this eminently fragmented global policy. Thirdly, the instruments used by this expanding array of actors to achieve a broader range of policy objectives have themselves mushroomed, in the wake of innovations in mainstream financial markets. Yet surprisingly, this triple revolution in goals, actors and tools has not yet impacted the way we measure both the financial volumes dedicated to this emerging global policy nor the concrete impacts it aims to achieve. This paper argues for the need to move from the conventional measure of Official Development Assistance to the construction of clearer benchmarks for what ultimately matters: resources and results that concur to 21st century international development.Publication also on the web site of Center for Global Development

La fin de l'aide publique au développement : mort et naissance d'une politique publique globale
L'Aide Publique au Développement (APD) est en voie de disparition. Peut-être d'ailleurs n'a-t-elle jamais réellement existé, tout du moins sous la forme clairement définie d'une lutte mondiale contre la pauvreté, dotée d'objectifs et de moyens consensuels. Cela ne signifie pas que la solidarité internationale ait diminué : au contraire, les fonds investis chaque année dans ce que l'on peut appeler « les politiques publiques internationales » augmentent.Publication également disponible sur le site du Center for Global Development
