This book considers how development cooperation principles and practices can be made more inclusive and impactful. Amplifying voices from across the global south, the book combines key thematic discussions with new case studies spanning three continents and three key sectors: agriculture, education, and social protection. Global governance is at a crossroads, and modalities of foreign aid delivery are under stress as international development cooperation continues to lose political traction in provider countries.

Presenting a novel and nuanced understanding of the dynamics shaping the global development landscape, this book considers the strategic issues influencing development partnerships and outcomes. It consolidates cross-country policy insights from the global south, based on sectoral experiences shaped by contextual realities. The authors adapt the "Moderator-Mediator" framework as a means of examining the contextual factors shaping development partnerships and consequently leading to “successful” development outcomes in a specific sector at the country level.

This book holds special relevance in the current political climate, where the future of development financing is increasingly contested. Global development researchers and students will benefit from the book’s ingenious blending of sector-specific insights and broader discussions of the themes underpinning contemporary development cooperation debates.
