- Summary
- As foreign aid flows decline and skepticism about the effectiveness of assistance to Africa grows, a major reassessment of aid is timely. This Policy Essay presents the policy findings of a collaborative project of field research and analyses of donor/African relations and how African countries use aid resources. The authors assess current donor practices and the impact of economic crisis on aid effectiveness in the region.
- They offer recommendations to promote management capacity, focusing on the integration and aid resources in development management, sectoral specialization, and public dialogue on aid.
