The processes that shape the aid environmentthe approaches to developmentare inherently problematic. The existing incentive structure does not encourage good performance or efficiency. The systemif you can call it thatis in a desperate need of an overhauling transformation because of the contradicting incentives and objectives that are doomed to result in a coordination problem. This problem, in turn, is making the effort to improve aid effectiveness more difficult. On top of these inherent problems, the autocatalytic progression of globalization is pressing for unification and universal values; that of technology is making us more capable of doing so. The enabling technology will empower the transformation and, given a purposeful design, establish more constructive incentives.
