International Development Work's Agents and Beneficiaries

How does the growing use of profit-making instruments and institutions intersect with global hierarchies and inequalities in international development work and efforts to redress these? In these last few pages of the book, I draw out key results from my research that speak specifically to the juncture of aid's monetization and localization. In some respects, these throw light on current directions of transformation between development work's agents and beneficiaries. Are OECD-DAC members, as the conventional developers, assuming a second role as aid beneficiaries, and/or are actors from, for example, Africa—traditionally associated with the recipient side of aid funds and expertise—becoming legitimate agents of development?
