This paper presents results from a project designed to explore the meaning and function of partnership within the Catholic Church development chain. The geography literature has had little to say about such aid chains, especially those founded on faith‐based groups. The relationships between three Catholic Church‐based donors – referred to as A, B and C – with development personnel of the diocese of the Abuja Ecclesiastical Province (AEP) as well as other Catholic Church structures in Nigeria were analysed. The aim was to explore the forces behind the relationships and how ‘patchy’ these relationships were in AEP. Respondents were asked to give each of the donors a score in relation to four questions covering their relationship with the donors. Results suggest that the modus operandi of donor ‘A’ allows it to be perceived as the ‘best’ partner, while ‘B’ was scored less favourably because of a perception that it attempts to act independently of existing structures in Nigeria rather than work through them. There was significant variation between diocese in this regard, as well as between the diocese and other structures of the Church (Provinces, Inter‐Provinces and National Secretariat). Thus ‘partnership’ in the Catholic Church aid chain is a highly complex, contested and ‘visioned’ term and the development of an analytical framework has to take account of these fundamentals
