Its underlying objectives are to improve not only the performance of the project but also the capacity and human resource development of the recipients. To realise this outcome, this article introduces a model of aid co-ordination that embodies four principles:(1)local ownership and participation;(2)partnership between the donors and recipients;(3)institutional and capacity building; and(4)pooling of financial and technical resources among the donors. BRAC and Proshika can be considered success stories in terms of project performance and co-ordination procedures. An analysis of the co-ordination mechanisms currently employed in the aid programmes of BRAC and Proshika illustrate that each organisation has developed its own specific style of co-ordination mechanisms attuned to its own institutional framework. However, the general flows indicate that the essential principles for effective coordination are basically adhered to. Shortfalls stem from inefficiencies in pursuing the pertinent principles and thus, impair both NGOs in project performance and institutional and capacity building. It is evident that these weaknesses stem from limitations throughout various stages in the co-ordination cycle and pertain to both the donors and recipients. What lessons can be emulated from BRAC and Proshika to steer the future course of coordination for all stakeholders, such as, donors, recipient governments and NGOs?}, pages = {125--160}, title = {AID CO-ORDINATION IN NON-FORMAL PRIMARY EDUCATION : A CASE STUDY IN BANGLADESH FOCUSING ON BRAC AND PROSHIKA}, volume = {22}, year = {2002} }
