A Case Study of Country Ownership Over Donor Aid: The Global Fund and the Ghanaian Country Coordinating Mechanism

“…7–10) and Frank (2004, p. 179), donors impose conditionalities in order to safeguard the repayment of donor loans and strengthen recipient ownership of the assisted programs. However, as argued by Saliba-Couture (2011), donors are aware of the criticisms associated with conditionalities, and consequently, they try to portray conditionality policies as complementary to ownership. Recipient countries, on the other hand, work to maximize ownership in the context of conditionality.…”

“…Numerous other commentators have commented on its ambiguity (Buffardi, 2011; Buiter, 2007; Carothers, 2015; Hasselskog, 2020; Raffinot, 2010). Indeed, Buiter (2007, p. 251) advocates that we “purge [the term] from our vocabulary” as it is “at best unhelpful and at worst misleading and obfuscating.” Other commentators point out that it is not clear who exactly is supposed to demonstrate ownership (Hasselskog & Schierenbeck, 2017, p. 325; Saliba-Couture, 2011, p. 182).

“…In the English-Language literature, according to Baillette and Kimble (2008), the term has been understood in the sense of dispossession of the property of others, of social use or, among structuralists (DeSanctis & Poole, 1994;Giddens, 1987), as "the way a group uses, adapts and reproduces a structure" (Roux, 2007, p. 126), the structure being what forms and shapes social life. In the French-language literature, the concept is used in two perspectives, as the result of a process (Jacquemot, 2007;Proulx, 2002;Saliba-Couture, 2011) or as the process itself (Bianchi & Kouloumdjian, 1986;Deniger, 2012;De Vaujany, 2006;Massard, 2007). In the perspective of a process, Deniger (2012) envisions the appropriation of change in education as a process of understanding, adherence and commitment.…”
