Some academics are doubtful of the efficacy of foreign aid in promoting good governance in bangladesh.
Sobhan (2003,20), for example, argues that 'the donors cannot do much to...eliminate the corruption which is in-built in the aid process'.
Examining the outcome of six donor -funded reform efforts, khan came to the conclusion that international donors had little success in reforming the public administration of bangladesh (khan 1998).
Similarly, mahmud (2006) found problems with donors' approaches to good governance and was suspicious about the efficacy of their efforts Azmat, Alam, and coghill (2009) argue that donors' determination to adopt market principles limited the success of re form efforts.
The current study contributes to this debate.
It examines one recent donor-funded project, the participatory rural Development project (PRDP) .
The prime objective of the project has been to ensure an accelerated speed of rural development, in order to improve the quality of life of rural people through community consciousness with people's participation (Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development & Cooperatives (LGRD &C) 2002,12).
The paper argues that the PRDP may be seen as one of the few examples of a success story, where donor fonds have borne tangible fruit in promoting good governance.
The paper proceeds first by describing research methodology and defining key terms.
The subsequent two sections describe the genesis of the PRDS project, its goals and achievements.
The next section assesses its impact in promoting good governance.
Finally, the paper explains the reasons for its success.
