Abstract:
The academic debate on aid effectiveness is complex, but there are basically two schools of thought. The first attributes most of the responsibility for aid failures to donors and the second mainly to recipients. The first school of thought points out that donors have not systematically sought to combat poverty. Rather, the aid they provided served political purposes. The second school of thought attaches great importance to the institutional weaknesses of the recipients. Corruption, ineffective institutions and misguided policies are often cited as factors that explain aid failures.
