Description
This course identifies actors in the international development aid system, and their evolving models and methods of aid delivery. Students compare the activities of donor governments, both new and established, and those of inter-governmental organizations. Specific examples are used to scrutinize the impacts of aid-funded projects and programs, and to examine the problems of aid effectiveness and accountability. Students also explore debates about aid's contribution to equitable and sustainable development.
