| description | There are significant weaknesses in some of the traditional justifications for assuming that aid will foster development. This paper looks at what the cross-national aid effectiveness literature suggests about effective aid, first in terms of promoting income growth and then for promoting other goals. This review forms the basis for a discussion of recommendations to improve aid effectiveness and a discussion of effective aid allocation. Given the multiple potential objectives for aid, there is no one right answer. However, it appears that there are a number of reforms to aid practices and distribution that might help to deliver a more significant return to aid resources.
Il y a d'importantes faiblesses dans la pensée traditionnelle qui prétend que l'aide stimulera le développement. Cet article étudie ce que dit la littérature sur l'efficacité de l'aide internationale à ce sujet, d'abord vis-à-vis de la croissance du revenu, puis au regard de ses autres objectifs. Ce bilan constitue une base pour des recommandations visant à améliorer l'efficacité de l'aide et pour une discussion sur l'efficacité de l'attribution de l'aide. Étant donné les déterminants multiples de l'allocation de l'aide, il n'y a pas une seule bonne réponse. Cependant, un certain nombre de réformes concernant les pratiques et la distribution de l'aide pourrait contribuer à améliorer le rendement de l'aide. |
