Changing Donor Policy and Practice on Civil Society

Changing Donor Policy and Practice on Civil Society in the Post-9/11 Aid Context is a paper that explores changing policy and practice on civil society since 11 September 2001. Authored by Howell, J, et al, the paper identifies some emerging patterns and points out distinctions related to the security priorities of different governments, the bureaucratic architecture, and the historical backdrop to aid.
