Summary
"This book focuses on the impact of development aid and its ability to reduce poverty in poor countries. Developing broad, holistic notions of "impact" to measure the effects of international development assistance, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the international political economy. Leading experts focus on enhancing aid's ability to reduce poverty in poor countries through examining the multilateral aid from the World Bank's social funds, bilateral governmental project aid, and NGO aid. It will be of interest to aid practitioners, researchers, and students."--Jacket.
