This thesis examines the relationship between OECD-DAC and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) within an aid efficiency context. The ability for these two actors to cooperate is highly important and determines the outcome for a major part of the development aid in the new millennium. The development agenda for the new millennium emphasizes aid efficiency as a key to a more successful aid, and this requires increased cooperation between all actors. The analysis made is a discourse analysis. The discourse of aid efficiency is analyzed, both its preconditions and results.The analyze finds out that there is a gap between OECD-DAC and CSOs in terms of how to handle aid efficiency. Different actors tend to emphasize different values, and this makes sustainable and effective cooperation difficult. This discrepancy constitutes a severe problem for the contemporary development aid, and efforts to sync these differences are crucial if aid efficiency is to be more successful in the future.
