Quality of Official Development Assistance Assessment

0

Public attention to rich countries’ efforts to support development through aid ends up relying mostly, if not entirely, on the quantity of aid—despite what on the face of it are likely to be big differences across donors in the quality of their aid programs. And rarely has analytic work on aid effectiveness grappled with the actual practices of different donors—those over which they have control and those that are likely to affect their long-run effectiveness in terms of development more...

What if development aid really rewarded results?: Revisiting the Cash on Delivery (COD) aid model

0

“Results-based” funding discipline is in high political demand today, but the devil is in the details. Tight earmarking of aid runs counter to local ownership of spending choices and channels. Measurement, attribution and perverse incentive problems arise with many target-driven schemes. The Cash on Delivery aid model, though not yet implemented in its pure form, potentially offers a way to handle these tensions in a simple yet effective design.After rehearsing the basic features of COD, as it more...

Reshaping institutions: Evidence on aid impacts using a pre-analysis plan

0

Although institutions are believed to be key determinants of economic performance, there is limited evidence on how they can be successfully reformed. Evaluating the effects of specific reforms is complicated by the lack of exogenous variation in the presence of institutions; the difficulty of empirically measuring institutional performance; and the temptation to “cherry pick” a few novel treatment effect estimates from amongst the large number of indicators required to capture the complex and more...

Australia has some of the most active NGOs in the field and many Australians also volunteer their time and skills overseas.

21st Century Aid: Recognizing success and tackling failure

0

Aid plays a role in saving millions of lives, and yet despite its achievements poverty continues to cast a shadow over the lives of some 1.4 billion people worldwide. This has opened up questions over the effectiveness of aid and lately, unleashed a barrage of criticism, with critics using individual examples of failed aid to argue that all aid is bad and should be reduced or phased out altogether. This is both incorrect and irresponsible.

The Paris Declaration is Insufficient to Achieve Aid Effectiveness

0

areu.org.af –

Aid to Afghanistan is widely criticised for being ineffective. A new report from AREU argues that although the principles of the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness are worthy, the framework is inadequate to ensure aid effectiveness in Afghanistan. The report asserts that the impact of applying the Declaration’s principles for aid effectiveness are limited because it is technically orientated, ignores the political dimensions of aid and is designed to guide development assistance, not more...

Improved agricultural growth, in turn, requires increased government spending. This brief from IFPRI, an international food policy research organization, proposes how much should be spent, and in which sectors, in order to yield the needed agricultural growth increase.
