Assessment on the Implementation of the International Principle for Aid Effectiveness in the Agriculture and Rural Development Sector : Comparative case study of Nicaragua between the government regimes of 2002-2006 and 2007-2011

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper assesses how the different forms of political regimes affected the implementation of the common principles for aid effectiveness, ownership, alignment and harmonization in the agriculture and rural development sector of Nicaragua, through a comparative case study between 2002 and 2011. The term “effectiveness” in this study relates to the extent to which the aforementioned principles were translated into operational practice by these two regimes. The research findings have shown that due to the different regimes, the operational practices differ as consequence of the importance and focus that each regime devotes to the agriculture and rural development sector, showing that the major changes are in the key partners of the government due to the different focus towards the sector. The research, therefore, concludes that in the case of Nicaragua, the involvement of the Government in the agriculture and rural development sectors is more effective for the implementation of international principles for aid effectiveness.
