Strengthening civil society from the outside? Donor driven consultation and participation processes in Poverty Reduction Strategies (PRSP): the Bolivian case



goes to the heart of the aid relationship, and is not as simple as the concept
of ownership suggests. The World Bank’s venturing into these new par-
ticipative areas is in a way ironic as it statutes prevent it from entering into
‘political’ lines of action (Doornbos 2001:98). It is engaging in political con-
ditionality by stealth, obfuscating crucial issues in the process. Its linking of
democracy and good governance to civil society participation is much more
complex and contradictory than the participative discourse would suggest.
