Fighting corruption in international development: a grounded theory of managing projects within a complex socio-cultural context

What is it about?

International Development Projects (IDPs) have become very complex with greater diversity of donor agencies and aid delivery actors. The relative lack of success of development aid has been linked to corruption at various levels. Project Management (PM) methods are essential to help prevent this behavior. To assess the complexity of this problem, we completed a grounded theory research based on 30 interviews with international development experts, balancing representation from donor and receiving countries, as well as project managers in public and private sectors.
