Abstract	In the Canadian push to increase the effectiveness of bilateral Official Development Assistance, fragmentation has become an important area of concern. Fragmentation refers to the distribution of aid across too many recipients, inflicting unnecessary costs on both the aid donors and the recipients. This paper analyzes current Canadian policy regarding fragmentation, emphasizing the Aid Effectiveness Agenda and the 20 focus countries Canada has designated as primary aid recipients (CIDA 2010, 6). This analysis will highlight Canada’s failure to reach its target to direct 80 percent of Canadian aid to these 20 countries and the causes of that policy failure. In response, several policy routes for improvement are put forward, focusing on the Netherlands as a model for addressing fragmentation. Ultimately, the paper finds that for Canada to address fragmentation, the federal government must create coherent strategies to reduce aid flows to insignificant recipients, increase the portion of Canadian aid allocated by country, and advocate for international cooperation amongst bilateral donors to reduce fragmentation.
