Relationships between international aid organizations and their local partners in the Global South are often problematic, with criticisms relating to paternalistic structures and inequality. In this study, empirical data from organizations working in heterogeneous partnerships in Myanmar is used to analyse motives for collaboration between international and local organizations. This study’s findings stress that both local and international organizations often focus on short-term program needs, while motives that relate to organizational goals, such as networking, improved reputation, or advocacy, are less prevailing. For development assistance to be successful in the long run, power imbalances between international and local organizations need to be addressed and a stronger sense of equality between partnering organizations must be promoted
