Resumen
Descripción
Mainstream international development discourse has long heralded the importance of home grown solutions and national ownership of development policies. Ownership has been seen as the missing link between the significant development aid inflows from the North and poverty reduction outcomes in the South. You only have to look to international agreements such the 2002 Monterrey Consensus or the2005 Paris Declaration for evidence of this.
Mainstream international development discourse has long heralded the importance of home grown solutions and national ownership of development policies. Much of development knowledge— the theories, policies, and practices of economic and social development—is dominated by the North, mainly by international institutions that are largely controlled by the North, and by donor agencies which exercise considerable influence on Southern governments, particularly the poorer ones. Other factors such as conditionalities, resource imbalances, and historically-rooted prejudices together contribute to development knowledge asymmetries.
