Politics and the effectiveness of foreign aid

  [CiTO]
European Economic Review, Vol. 40, No. 2. (February 1996), pp. 289-329, doi:10.1016/0014-2921(95)00127-1

Abstract

Critics of foreign aid programs have long argued that poverty reflects government failure. In this paper I test predictions for aid effectiveness based on an analytical framework that relates aid effectiveness to political regimes. I find that aid does not significantly increase investment, nor benefit the poor as measured by improvements in human development indicators, but it does increase the size of government. The impact of aid does not vary according to whether recipient governments are liberal democratic or highly repressive. ...

 

Can Foreign Aid Buy Growth?

  [CiTO]
The Journal of Economic Perspectives, Vol. 17, No. 3. (2003), pp. 23-48

Abstract

The widely publicized finding that "aid promotes growth in a good policy environment" is not robust to the inclusion of new data or alternative definitions of "aid,""policy" or "growth." The idea that "aid buys growth" is on shaky ground theoretically and empirically. It doesn't help that aid agencies face poor incentives to deliver results and underinvest in enforcing aid conditions and performing scientific evaluations. Aid should set more modest goals, like helping some of the people some of the time, rather ...

 

Organizational Challenges for an Effective Aid Architecture – Traditional Deficits, the Paris Agenda and Beyond

  [CiTO]
Discussion Paper / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (2007)

Abstract

The essay starts out by outlining some fundamental challenges for DC from a principal-agent perspective. We then discuss some of the most relevant regulatory deficits of “traditional organizational patterns” of DC, before going on to analyze the extent to which the reform efforts undertaken in connection with the 2005 Paris Agenda have led to a more effective organizational setup of international DC. We find that the Paris process neglects, and in part even exacerbates, a core problem of DC: the continuing ...

World Economic and Social Survey 2010: Retooling Global Development

  [CiTO]
(29 June 2010)

Abstract

The Survey points out promising directions for reform, including strengthening government capacities for formulating and implementing national development strategies; doing more to ensure that official development assistance is aligned with national priorities; strengthening the international trade and financial systems so that countries with limited capabilities can successfully integrate into the global economy; creating new mechanisms for dealing with deficiencies, such as specialized multilateral frameworks through which to govern international migration and labour mobility, international financial regulation, multinational corporations and global value ...

METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSMENT OF NATIONAL PROCUREMENT SYSTEMS (BASED ON INDICATORS FROM OECD-DAC/WORLD BANK ROUND TABLE)

  [CiTO]
(17 July 2006)

Abstract

The methodology for assessment of national procurement systems presented in this paper is intended to provide a common tool which developing countries and donors can use to assess the quality and effectiveness of national procurement systems. The understanding among the participants in this process is that the assessment will provide a basis upon which a country can formulate a capacity development plan to improve its procurement system. Similarly, donors can use the common assessment to develop strategies for assisting the capacity develop plan and to mitigate risks ...

 

2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration - Making Aid more Effective by 2010

  [CiTO]
(2009)

Abstract

How effective is aid at helping countries meet their own development objectives? Some of the answers can be found in this survey report. The 2008 Survey on Monitoring the Paris Declaration assesses progress made in 55 partner countries and helps us understand the challenges in making aid more effective at advancing development. The findings are clear: progress is being made, but not fast enough. Unless they seriously gear up their efforts, partner countries and their external partners will not meet their international commitments and targets for effective aid ...

Aid Effectiveness: Three Good Reasons Why the Paris Declaration Will Make a Difference

  [CiTO]
In 2005 DEVELOPMENT CO-OPERATION REPORT, Vol. 7, No. 1. (2006), pp. 49-54

Abstract

On 2 March 2005 over one hundred donors and developing countries agreed in Paris to undertake some landmark reforms in the way they do business together. These reforms, enshrined in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, are critical if aid commitments made during 2005 are to help partner countries meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Some would argue that the Paris Declaration is nothing but good intentions and unlikely to make a difference. This chapter argues there are at least three good reasons to be confident ...
