This book centers around an intense debate among donors,
policymakers, development practitioners, and academics on the
efficacy of aid in eradicating poverty while promoting human
development. It seeks to fill the gap in present literature by
presenting stories of better spending through implementing
Sustainable Development Goals and addressing Agenda 2030 via
indigenization of global development goals with initiatives at
local and national levels. The book adopts an innovative approach
to dealing with aid effectiveness by highlighting the relevance of
better spending, rather than excessive spending. It does so with
real-life examples of interventions made in the Global South to
realize the vision of "thinking globally and acting locally". These
case studies speak to the significance of communities' role in
shouldering responsibility for planning, financing, operating, and
maintaining local developmental initiatives. The examples also
demonstrate how aid serves its purpose when used as an investment
in communities and enterprising individuals, in order to realize
the strategic impact of giving and build a local "receiving
mechanism" for indigenizing and achieving global development goals.
The book references cases of better spending by governments,
philanthropists, and civil society organizations (CSOs) from across
Asia, Africa, and Latin America on a range of issues and will,
thus, be of interest to development practitioners, policymakers,
donors, philanthropists, civil society organizations, and academics
and students of international development studies.
