Aid management in Cambodia: breaking out of a low ownership trap

Abstract

Abstract Three main observations are made in this article. First, aid administration costs are not regarded as a major problem by government aid recipients in Cambodia. Second, resource availability appears to be the underlying, pressing issue which may substantially determine skill retention, capacity and hence ownership in a government department. This is suggested by the greater ownership exhibited by well‐resourced government departments. Third, reform of aid management practices which focuses on improving continuity of resourcing (e.g. longer term commitments), and joint working with government are likely to be more important than attempts to reduce administrative costs of aid.
