This was followed by a decision to pilot a cofunded program in Cook Islands which is the subject of this case study. The case is presented through the eyes of Garth Henderson, the senior Cook Islands official responsible for aid management. It describes how the Cook Islands government, through the aid harmonization process, and under Henderson's leadership, enhanced its capacity for aid management while strengthening national ownership and forging a shared sense of direction by all stakeholders.
