Identity, NGOs and Public-Private Partnerships: An Early (!) Pre-Analysis-Plan
Abstract - Donors and developing country governments have experimented with alternative ways to deliver basic services and public goods to communities. Public-private partnerships involving non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are one such approach. Yet, the effectiveness of such partnerships critically depends on local governments鈥� willingness to cooperate with non-governmental organizations. In this project, we aim to measure the extent to which such forms of development cooperation fail due to resistance within local governments, and ask whether resistance reflects the effect of identity on local government officials鈥� decision-making with respect to such development cooperations. In this presentation, I will present an early pre-analysis plan.
