NOW IN ITS SIXTH ANNUAL EDITION, The Reality of Aid has for the
first time analysed the 'fair share' of bilateral aid for basic
social services basic education, basic health, reproductive health,
nutrition, clean water and sanitation - that should come from each
donor; an analysis which shows only two donors meeting their fair
share and the G7 nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
UK, US) falling behind by over US$5 billion. This year and next,
The Reality of Aid focuses on basic education, as a right and not a
privilege, and its role in development cooperation and poverty
elimination. A key feature of The Reality of Aid 1998/1999 is the
ten chapters offering analysis of development cooperation from the
perspective of southern NGOs. Many of these focus on basic
education and raise issues around transparency, gender and civil
society. 'If policies were programmes and promises were dollars,
The Reality of Aid could report great progress on the road to
eradicating global poverty this year. But at a time when donors
acknowledge that ending poverty is possible, it seems that
commitments are being offered instead of resources and real
change.' From the Summary Part I presents a useful Summary,
highlighting the steps that donors could take now to make progress
towards poverty eradication, and reviews the trends in development
cooperation, debt relief measures targeted towards the new
millennium and commitment to the goal of ensuring basic education
for all. Part II gives a full report on the overseas aid
performance of OECD country aid donors and the European Union over
the last year. Part III sets out a Southern perspective on
development cooperation. Part IV provides 'at a glance' comparisons
of donors' aid outlook and commitment to development cooperation in
the 21st Century, poverty eradication, gender and public support.
Part V contains handy reference material. Throughout the book,
information is presented in easily interpreted diagrams and graphs.
The Reality of Aid has established itself as a unique source of
independent evaluation and comment on aid policies and development.
It is indispensable for all in the field, whether in the official
or voluntary sectors. 'Indispensable ... it gives you most of the
hard facts you need to know about the major issues' New
Internationalist 'The most comprehensive and rigorous independent
analysis of the aid and development policies of the world's
wealthiest nations ... Essential reading' Charity World 'The
Reality of Aid remains an essential purchase by the libraries of
development institutions and an invaluable reference for
development practitioners' Development & Change 'A reliable
'watchdog' for anyone interested in this important aspect of
international relations' ORBIT 'An accessible reference ... [it]
encompasses many key issues and stimulates further research'
