fasid.or.jp –

"Recently, development effectiveness has been discussed as an important issue in the international development community. It is now a consensus in the international community that the ownership and the leadership of recipient countries are essential factors since they have a critical role for aid and development effectiveness. Since improving development effectiveness based on local institutions, however, faces many obstacles and difficulties, evaluation is expected to be one of the practical more...

Implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

0

UNDP’s involvement in the Paris Declaration process is two-pronged: 1) to engage on development cooperation issues, specifically the quality of aid; and 2) to support developing countries’ implementation of the aid effectiveness commitments and to facilitate their participation in global fora. With the exception of using country systems where further progress is needed, UNDP is faring well overall in reaching the 2010 Paris Declaration targets on effective aid. Slow progress on UNDP’s use of more...

Aid Tying and Donor Fragmentation

0

www-wds.worldbank.org –

This study tests two opposing hypotheses about the impact of aid fragmentation on the practice of aid tying.

Alternatively, when donors have a larger share of the aid market, they may have stronger incentives to maximize the development impact of their aid by tying less of it. Empirical tests strongly and more...

Aid effectiveness

0

Once again the effectiveness of development cooperation is at the center of international debate, and for good reason. The starting assumption of this paper is that aid can make a positive contribution, and may be, under a relatively common set of conditions, a necessary condition for accelerated progress in very poor countries. But it is also accepted that aid can, and often does, do harm, especially because of the way it affects incentives and institutions in recipient countries. This paper more...

The Effects of Foreign Aid in Sub-Saharan Africa

0

ucd.ie –

This paper contributes to the aid effectiveness debate by applying a vector auto-regression model to a panel of Sub-Saharan African countries. This method allows one to analyze the impact of foreign aid on human development and on economic development simultaneously. Economic growth is found to respond more to aid shocks in groups defined by better economic policies, poor institutions and high aid dependence. Human development, for which the author uses the growth rate of life expectancy as a more...

An upside down view of governance

0

This paper argues that donors cannot make significant progress in improving development outcomes and aid effectiveness without changing their mental models of how development happens. The authors not only further analyse the OECD donor country approaches towards governance issues but offers a radically different model for managing aid relationships.
