Aide au développement : six décennies de trop dits et de non dits

Abstract

Depuis six décennies alternent des arguments favorables à et critiques de l’aide au développement. Ils s’inscrivent dans les débats politiques, idéologiques et économiques de chaque période, depuis la diffusion concomitante du terme « développement ». L’article montre comment le terme « aide » a étonnamment résisté à l’usure du temps et des idées. La liste des pays privilégiés par l’aide, son contenu et donc son système de justification ont considérablement évolué, de même que se sont notoirement transformés les rapports au sein de l’aide entre apports publics et apports privés, soutien technique, apports en nature et contributions financières, aide bilatérale liée et aide multilatérale, etc. Toutefois, quelles que soient les logiques de justification de ces soutiens, quelle que soit la nature des critiques qu’on lui a opposées, quel que soit le constat d’une certaine inefficacité à permettre une croissance des pays bénéficiaires, la désignation d’un ensemble de pratiques sous le vocable commun d’« aide au développement » a perduré en relation avec la montée du poids des institutions publiques et privées qui en ont la charge.
