Abstract

This work examines the main tendencies of aid in order to determine its future. We start from showing that faced to a new external environment the aid needs to diversify its finalities and reinforce its effectiveness. This process is illustrated by an increase of the ownership concept and a better attention paid to the demand side. On the offer side, we see a new organisation based upon better harmonization and new practices witch combine rationality, pragmatism and institutional games. Finaly, the future of aid seems plural in order to take into account the diversity of the situations and purposes. Ce travail explore les principales tendances actuelles de l’aide publique au développement (APD) pour en cerner les nouvelles logiques. Le constat initial est celui d’une diversification de ses finalités et d’une exigence renforcée de son efficacité face à un environnement externe nouveau. Cela se traduit par une montée de la notion d’appropriation pour mieux prendre en compte la demande, par un processus d’harmonisation de l’offre d’APD et par une transformation des pratiques qui conjugue rationalisation, pragmatisme et jeux institutionnels. Au final, l’avenir de l’aide semble plus que jamais pluriel pour prendre en compte les diversités des situations et des objectifs.
