The authors aimed to contribute to understanding how donors and recipients of aid cope with the uncertain world in which development aid takes place. They explored how trust can become a substitute for certainty and what leads donors and recipients of aid to actually trust one another. They also examined current trust patterns and implications for the organization of aid.
Building trust is difficult when it comes to development cooperation, hindered by distance, unequal power relations and complex practices. The Expert Group for Aid Studies (EBA) report In Proper Organizations We Trust – Trust in Interorganizational Aid Relations investigated the character and extent of trust-based management within Swedish aid relationships.
Conclusions:
Among other things, the authors argued that interpersonal relationships between key individuals should have more weight. Long-term relationships between individuals may contribute to building trust between organizations.
