All of this points us towards an answer to the often-asked question: why has there not been a rise in innovative and dynamic new aid agencies to fill the niches in development and humanitarian work?88 The reality is that few existing aid agencies are structured, managed, staffed, resourced, or generally thought about in ways that would enable innovative practices to emerge and flourish. And the system as a whole reflects nothing so much as an entrenched oligopoly: ‘Taken as a whole, the institutions of the aid sector are in some ways redolent of the old “military-industrial complex” of the Cold War, with vested interests resisting changes in the analysis which might lead to their exclusion from opportunities.’89 Ben Ramalingam on Aid on the Edge of Chaos.
