But does it work? Indeed, is it needed at all? Other attempts to answer this important question have been dominated by a focus on the impact of official aid provided by governments. But today possibly as much as 30 percent of aid is provided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and over 10 percent is provided as emergency assistance. In this first-ever attempt to provide an overall assessment of aid, Riddell presents a rigorous but highly readable account of aid, warts and all. This book sets out the evidence and exposes the instances where aid has failed and explains why. It also examines the way that short-term political interests distort aid, and disentangles the moral and ethical assumptions that lie behind the belief that aid does good. The book concludes by detailing the practical ways that aid needs to change if it is to be the effective force for good that its providers claim it is.--Book jacket Aide économique Aide économique / Évaluation POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Economic Policy bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Government & Business bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Business Development bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Structural Adjustment bisacsh BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / General bisacsh Ontwikkelingssamenwerking gtt Effectiviteit gtt Entwicklungshilfe / Evaluation idsbb Finanzielle Entwicklungshilfe idsbb Economic assistance fast Economic assistance / Evaluation fast Evaluering-bistandsprojekter U-lande Udviklingsøkonomi Udviklingsbistand Wirtschaft Wirtschaftspolitik Economic assistance Economic assistance Evaluation Entwicklungshilfe (DE-588)4014948-1 gnd rswk-swf Evaluation (DE-588)4071034-8 gnd rswk-swf Effizienz (DE-588)4013585-8 gnd rswk-swf Humanitäre Hilfe (DE-588)4438965-6 gnd rswk-swf Entwicklungshilfe (DE-588)4014948-1 s Effizienz (DE-588)4013585-8 s 1\p DE-604 Evaluation (DE-588)4071034-8 s 2\p DE-604 Humanitäre Hilfe (DE-588)4438965-6 s 3\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=191624 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
