New approaches in development models
Over the last decade, the traditional international aid
model has been analyzed and its effectiveness questioned.
In particular, the analysis considered the successes
and failures of the actors of development cooperation,
putting into question the related results, working
methods, relations with local associations, CBOs, NGOs,
enterprises and institutions. Since the Rome Declaration
on Aid Effectiveness of 2003 until the last Meeting on
Global Partnership in Mexico City, the world of development
cooperation and, in particular, of Official Development
Assistance (ODA), has questioned the effectiveness
of aid, the role of the different stakeholders and use
of resources located in interventions in partner countries.
The modest results achieved through policies and
practices of development imposed from above, which
took little account of the external contexts and the ongoing
geopolitical changes, led international organizations,
states, NGOs to rethink models of development, focusing
on the choices and accountability of the countries
in which interventions were implemented, introducing
fundamental concepts, including those of ownership and
mutual accountability.
