Abstract

While in its early years Bangladesh found it difficult to accept the idea of an aid donors’ consortium as a ready solution to the problems of aid co-ordination, it was not rejected altogether, and was kept under review.1 The issue was discussed with many of the potential members of a consortium in the hope that it might be possible to develop some form of regular meetings, that would be, acceptable both to Bangladesh and to donor participants. As seen from Bangladesh, however, it became apparent that donors found it difficult to visualise other ways of organising consortia meetings than those they were already accustomed to, and particularly that they had closed their minds to the possibility that the lead in the organisation of consortium meetings might be taken by the recipient country. It appeared possible, however, that donors might be ready to accept an alternative venue for the consortium meeting, other than Washington or Paris. This led to the suggestion that it might be instructive and rewarding for Bangladesh to organise a meeting in Dacca of donor countries and agencies.
