Associate Fellow

Nils-Sjard Schulz is associate fellow at FRIDE and an independent consultant on aid effectiveness for several European and international organisms. In 2008, he collaborated with the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) at the OECD in the evaluation of the Paris Declaration (thematic study on aid effectiveness and development effectiveness, see pdf), the 2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration and the Accra High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness. He has an MA in Social Sciences from the Humboldt University, Berlin, and a specialisation in International Relations from the Complutense University of Madrid.

His research focuses on the new aid architecture, the global governance of aid, the impact of donor harmonisation on partner countries, democratisation, implications of international division of labour and South-South cooperation. His most recent works include ‘Why the EU is not yet a mature development partner’ (FRIDE, February 2010); and ‘Spanish development policies: the obstacles to progress’ (FRIDE, January 2010).
