Synopsis
`Does Aid reduce global poverty and inequality?' This book examines the evidence and concludes that, despite billions spent on aid, poverty and inequality have in fact increased. Surprisingly, this increase has taken place during a period of increased Aid
In this radically different look at aid, an unlikely author - the Chief Executive of a leading NGO - suggests that people like him should be at the forefront in showing that aid is not achieving many of its supposed objectives, because all `aid' is not the same
The vast bulk of aid is delivered by governments to other governments or through international bodies. Such aid is often delivered with conditions attached. These conditions, as this well researched book shows, often make the donor richer and the poor poorer! This is in stark contrast to the fact that for decades aid was presented as pure benevolence
Aid can and has delivered some very significant results. But the current `Aid' regime often facilitates corruption and ultimately makes the poor poorer. The voices of the `aid community' remain silent, afraid that all aid will be perceived as the same and the good projects will be rejected along with the bad
`I welcome this book. We must move beyond photo opportunities gestures, and face up to the hard questions, especially: who benefits from Why are the people poorer in many places, despite billions being spent on Can aid make any difference without justice?'
Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town
