Synopsis

Foreign aid is being scrutinized heavily these days-by donor countries who don't want simply to give money away; in the recipient nations who need to make the most of what they have; and among major analysts and writers such as William Easterly ('White Man's Burden'). 'Lives in the Balance' investigates a vital aspect of the foreign aid landscape - how to make sure money goes where it should. Poor people depend heavily on government services. Poor delivery of those services is often due to a lack of government commitment rather than a paucity of resources. Proper use of aid depends on effective governance, with accountability an essential element-government responds when its activities are brought into the light. Griffin and his colleagues illustrate that case with copious examples from around the developing world.
