The question of the effectiveness or counter-productivity of
foreign aid is one of the great issues facing the world today. This
volume arose from a study conducted for an inter-governmental task
force. The team surveyed the published literature, reviewed
existing evaluations of aid projects, and undertook seven detailed
country studies. The basic finding is that the majority of aid
succeeds in terms of its own objectives and obtains a reasonable
rate of return. At the same time, this book analyses the frequent
failings of aid projects, compares these failings with other forms
of private and public investment, and proposes measures for
improving aid effectiveness. New to this edition: For the second
edition the book has been shortened, removing mainly the more
technical parts. The data in the text and tables have been brought
up to date, the text has been revised, and each chapter has a new
section added reviewing the areas of debate and research findings
since 1986. The bibliography has also been updated. This book is
intended for graduates or undergraduates studying development
studies or development economics. Academics policy-makers and
commentators.
