Aid Works--Let's Prove It!

Abstract

Now that strong international consensus has been reached on how to combat poverty, it is argued that words must be put into deeds. To improve effectiveness of aid, the Netherlands has decided to focus its programme on countries that perform well in terms of good policy and good governance. By doing this, the old style conditionality debate can be avoided. Donors' attitude towards recipients should become based on partnership, so that the recipient government can be in control. Reforms are needed both in making donor programmes more coherent and focused on development, and in making recipients' public expenditures better coordinated and managed. Copyright 1999 by Oxford University Press.
