“…Teachers' initial reactions and suspicions were not unfounded. It was not uncommon for projects funded by developmental aid agencies to operate within a deficit framework, whereby experts are brought into the community to 'fix' the problem without a nuanced understanding of the local context or the real needs of the community (Flint and Blyth, 2021;Glennie, 2020;Moloney, 2019). Often, literacy programmes, projects, and professional development are driven by results-based outcomes and reflect an asymmetrical relationship of power and knowledge.…”

“…Such apparently noble intent sits at odds with aid's links to geopolitical and national self-interest (Einarsdóttir and Gunnlaugsson, 2016;Williams, 2012). Larger global questions, such as how much aid should go to whom, paradigms of radical redistribution (Singer, 1972) or global public investment (Glennie, 2020) and its distorting effects on the will to help are marginalised (Cowen and Shenton, 1996;Duffield, 2007;Fassin and Gomme, 2012;Gasper, 2012;Hickel, 2018;Uvin, 1992). Contemporary emphasis on metrics and efficiency, and the audit of these aspects, narrows the gaze and aspirations of development rather than expanding them.…”

Audit as confession: The instrumentalisation of ethics for management control

Techniques of audit are a prominent feature of contemporary publicly funded institutions. While such accountability systems are often understood as broadly ethical, critical perspectives note their coercive nature, seeing audit regimes as instruments of governmentality for disciplining and creating self-regulating subjects, diminishing autonomy and premised on an absence of trust. In this article, I seek to extend this critical perspective to the ethics of audit. In so doing I reveal how the roots of apparently modern, scientific systems for eliciting truth are to be found in the Christian rite of confession, audit being one of a number of quasi-scientific disciplines to draw on confession’s mechanisms. The article then explores the parallels and implications for aid workers as moral agents and subjects in audit systems. Research with those involved in planning, monitoring and evaluation processes suggests how reporting and audit mechanisms both constrain the everyday work of development as well as reach into the future, delimiting what can be done. Respondents narratives’ emphasise their experiences of constraint and frustration as they try to negotiate audit’s more distorting effects. These narratives suggest how, in its focus on accountability upwards, audit has more to do with power and control that it does with ethics; and to achieve its purposes, it relies on processes of subjection rooted in confession.

“…A commodity is deemed global if it provides a benefit beyond nation‐state borders, or if the provision of said commodity is cross‐border financed or otherwise supplied (Kaul, Blondin & Nahtigal, 2016; Klingebiel, 2018). Several other recent discussions on Principled Aid (suggested by Gulrajani & Calleja, 2019) and Global Public Investments (Glennie, 2020) overlap with the GPG discussion: they emphasise the GPGs’ character of related international cooperation approaches. It is important to underline that those debates differ from the traditional aid motivation debate which was mainly assuming a rather clear cut between self‐interests of donors and development needs of PCs.…”

Partner country (PC) selection lies in the centre of development policy decision-making of donor countries and institutions, and plays a significant role in shaping aid patterns. This paper proposes a comprehensive analysis contrasting donor intentions in PC selection with actual aid flows. Having analysed selected members of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, namely,
