Abstract

How can foreign aid be more effective? The development community has found one such answer in a movement to identify best aid practices, and to monitor, evaluate, and rank the performance of different aid donors along these measures. Although foreign aid donors have committed to implementing these best aid practices, the research on donor performance and rankings show that donors are still not reaching their stated goals. This chapter summarizes the findings in the literature on donor performance and examines the research surrounding the factors that influence donors’ decisions to engage in best aid practices. Questions of donor motivation and the political economy of donor strategies and performance have come under scrutiny for influencing ineffective aid strategies.
