Literature reviews were done as part of the Southern Voices Project.
This Working Paper has its origin in the ODI project 'Southern Voices for Change in the International Aid System'. The original draft served as the basis for discussion at a workshop organised by ODI in November 2005, with collaborators from Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as representatives from the donor community and from Northern-based NGOs. Drawing on comments made by Southern CSO representatives involved in the project, the paper aims to provide an analysis of the forces shaping the structure and operations of the international aid system. It examines current (mostly Northern) perceptions of problems inherent in and reforms necessary to the aid architecture, and explores Southern responses to this, focusing particularly on views and proposals from civil society organisations (CSOs) based in the South.
