Book excerpt: "This review was conducted as an input to support the Agency's renewal of its terms and conditions that expired in March 2006, but as an interim measure, they were renewed for 1 year. The Treasury Board (TB) policy on Transfer Payments (TP) requires, "a formal program evaluation or similar review, and report on the effectiveness of the transfer payments when requesting renewal of terms and conditions". (TB Policy on TP - para. 7.3.7). Much of CIDA's investments are Grants & Contributions which are governed by the TP policy. In addition, TB requested a review of direct budget support to maintain the specific exemptions obtained in 2003 regarding cash management and reporting requirements."--Introduction.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents a review of the effectiveness of the Canadian International Development Agency's (CIDA) Grants and Contributions (Gs & Cs) provided through its three programming channels - bilateral, partnership and multilateral. CIDA's Gs & Cs are governed by the Treasury Board (TB) approved Terms and Conditions for International Development Assistance. Prior to the renewal of the current Terms and Conditions in March 2007, CIDA had conducted a similar review. However, the coverage of multilateral programming was limited and, as a result, when renewing the Terms and Conditions, TB required that CIDA also undertake a review of the effectiveness of its multilateral delivery channel. CIDA conducted that review in 2009. CIDA was also asked to do another review of the effectiveness of the Gs & Cs to inform the next Terms and Conditions renewal."--Introduction.

Book excerpt: Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five mainrecommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects oncreating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

This book was released on 2006-05-31 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication focuses on two key issues relating to food aid development activities: options for ensuring the effectiveness of food aid in seeking to promote food security and poverty alleviation; and the use of local purchases or regionally sourced imports as relatively efficient ways of providing food aid. The study finds that in most circumstances financial aid (in terms of cash) is the preferable way to fund direct distribution of food or to provide budgetary support for general development or project assistance. A context-specific rationale should be required, therefore, for providing imported commodity aid rather than financial aid.
Download or read book Rethinking Canadian Aid written by Stephen Brown and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, the government abolished the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), which had been Canada’s flagship foreign aid agency for decades, and transferred its functions to the newly renamed Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD). As the government is rethinking Canadian aid and its relationship with other foreign policy and commercial objectives, the time is ripe to rethink Canadian aid more broadly. Edited by Stephen Brown, Molly den Heyer and David R. Black, this is the first book on Canadian foreign aid since CIDA was folded into DFATD. Designed to reach a variety of audiences, contributions by twenty-one scholars and experts in the field offer an incisive examination of Canada’s record and recent changes in Canadian foreign aid, such as its focus on maternal and child health and on the extractive sector. Many chapters also ask more fundamental questions concerning the intersection of the moral imperative that underpins aid and the trend towards greater self-interest. For instance, what are and what should be the underlying motives of Canadian aid? How compatible are altruism and self-interest in foreign aid? To what extent should aid be integrated with Canada’s other policies and practices? The portrait that emerges is a sobering one. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Canada’s changing role in the world and how it reflects on Canada.

Download or read book The Reality of Aid 2000 written by Judith Randel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW IN ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL EDITION, The Reality of Aid 2000 looks at how the performance of OECD donor countries on aid and development cooperation has matched up to the challenge of eliminating absolute poverty. The report charts some improvements at the level of donor policy and rhetoric. But its stark conclusion is that the potential of aid to combat poverty is constantly undermined by governments, both North and South, who fail to address the extreme inequalities of income and the structural, social and political injustices that entrench people in poverty. Part I of The Reality of Aid 2000 presents an overview of poverty in the current global context and an analysis of recent trends in aid - looking particularly at basic education. In Part II, chapters by experts from NGOs in OECD countries and the European Union show how donor aid administrations approach poverty - and highlight the weakness of political commitment in the North to the needs of the poor. Part III sets out Southern perspectives on development cooperation. Part IV provides 'at a glance' comparisons of donors' aid outlook and commitment to development cooperation in the 21st century, poverty eradication, gender and public support. Throughout the book, information is presented in easily interpreted diagrams and graphs. The Reality of Aid has established itself as a unique source of independent evaluation and comment on aid policies and development. It is indispensable for all in the field, whether in the official or voluntary sectors, providing a regular reality check on just how much the international community is doing to realise the achievable goal of eliminating poverty.

Download or read book World Development Report 1994 written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Development Report 1994 examines the link between infrastructure and development and explores ways in which developing countries can improve both the provision and the quality of infrastructure services. In recent decades, developing countries have made substantial investments in infrastructure, achieving dramatic gains for households and producers by expanding their access to services such as safe water, sanitation, electric power, telecommunications, and transport. Even more infrastructure investment and expansion are needed in order to extend the reach of services - especially to people living in rural areas and to the poor. But as this report shows, the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. Improving the quality of infrastructure service also is vital. Both quantity and quality improvements are essential to modernize and diversify production, help countries compete internationally, and accommodate rapid urbanization. The report identifies the basic cause of poor past performance as inadequate institutional incentives for improving the provision of infrastructure. To promote more efficient and responsive service delivery, incentives need to be changed through commercial management, competition, and user involvement. Several trends are helping to improve the performance of infrastructure. First, innovation in technology and in the regulatory management of markets makes more diversity possible in the supply of services. Second, an evaluation of the role of government is leading to a shift from direct government provision of services to increasing private sector provision and recent experience in many countries with public-private partnerships is highlighting new ways to increase efficiency and expand services. Third, increased concern about social and environmental sustainability has heightened public interest in infrastructure design and performance.

This evaluation assesses Bank support for public sector capacity building in Africa over these past 10 years. It is based on six country studies, assessments of country strategies and operations across the Region, and review of the work of the World Bank Institute, the Institutional Development Fund, and the Bank-supported African Capacity Building Foundation.
