This report discusses and analyzes the uneven implementation of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness in the Swedish International Development Agency, Sida, using three perspectives originating in organizational theory; instrument, culture and myth. While Sweden is considered one of the most progressive donor countries in regard to certain areas of the Paris Declaration it has received criticism of the lack of implementation in others.
