Avoid pockets of exclusion: International actors need to address the problem of “aid orphans” – states where there are no significant political barriers to engagement, but few international actors are engaged and aid volumes are low.
This also applies to neglected geographical regions within a country, as well as neglected sectors and groups within societies.
When international actors make resource allocation decisions about the partner countries and focus areas for their aid programs, they should seek to avoid unintentional exclusionary effects. In this respect, coordination of field presence, determination of aid flows in relation to absorptive capacity and mechanisms to respond to positive developments in these countries, are therefore essential.
In some instances, delegated assistance strategies and leadership arrangements among donors may help to address the problem of aid orphans.
