Country ownership ostensibly gives aid-recipient countries more control over donor-funded programs. However, there is much debate both over the utility of the concept and its implementation. This article examines the operation of the Ghanaian Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM) to determine to what extent the CCM enables country ownership. The CCM is a governance instrument designed to promote country ownership in relation to donor aid from the Global Fund, a key donor to the Ghanaian health sector. This case study shows that the operation of the Ghanaian CCM is reflective of conditional ownership, which limits recipient countries’ exercise of control over donor-funded programs.

国家所有权对捐助者援助的案例研究：全球基金和加纳国家协调机制

国家所有权表面上使受援国对捐助者资助的项目有更多的控制权。然而，关于这个概念的实用性及其实施都存在很多争论。本文研究了加纳国家协调机制 (CCM) 的运作，以确定 CCM 在多大程度上实现了国家自主权。CCM 是一种治理工具，旨在促进国家对来自全球基金的捐助方的自主权，全球基金是加纳卫生部门的主要捐助方。本案例研究表明，加纳 CCM 的运作反映了有条件的所有权，这限制了受援国对捐助者资助的计划的控制。
