While there has been more progress with poverty reduction since the 1950s than in any comparable period of human history, poverty remains a severe global problem. This book determines that the effectiveness of aid is not the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five main recommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects on creating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 148 pages. In different times and places, foreign aid has been highly effective, totally ineffective, and everything in between. It assisted growth in the Republic of K orea and Botswana in the 1960s, Bolivia and Ghana in the late 1980s, and Uganda and Vietnam in the 1990s. It still plays a critical role in supporting instituti onal and policy reform in developing countries, which is crucial for alleviating poverty. However, foreign aid has also failed spectacularly. Incompetence, corr uption, and misguided policies persisted for many years in the former Zaire, for example, where there was a steady flow of aid. And in Tanzania, despite $2 bill ion in aid over twenty years, lack of provision for maintaining roads meant the roads often deteriorated faster than they could be built.'Assessing Aid' include s important research such as: analyzing aid's nonfinancial role its impact as a transfer of technology or ideas; investigating how foreign aid is declining shar ply at a time when reforms in developing countries have made it most effective; examining whether foreign aid is 'fungible'; documenting that effective assistan ce demands that donors be selective, innovative, coordinated, and self-critical; examining the overall effect of assistance on the countries' per capita income growth. Foreign aid has proved to be effective in increasing the rate of growth, reducing the poverty level, and lowering infant mortality rates in many countri es. Yet more than 1 billion people still live in extreme poverty on less than $1 per day. Properly managed foreign aid can make a big contribution to improving the lives of millions. 'Assessing Aid' sets the pace for improving the effective ness of foreign aid in promoting growth and reducing poverty worldwide. N° de réf. du vendeur 2145aa
