Year: 2010

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This research examines the conventions and understandings of ‘good’ development practice surrounding consultation, participation and their relationship to aid effectiveness and absorptive capacity in the context of a small island developing country, Tuvalu. The study will identify contemporary development intervention patterns in Tuvalu and will explore tensions emerging within the Tuvalu Government as it services the needs of its population as a sovereign nation while also servicing the needs of a multiplicity of development partners.
