Book excerpt: Who could forget the searing images and heartfelt emotions stirred up by 2005's Live 8 benefit? The message was simple: let's make poverty history. Hundreds of thousands of well-meaning people from all over North America and Europe responded with an outpouring of donations. It was a remarkable display of compassion. Heads of state who assembled at the most recent G8 conference posed in front of the cameras to proclaim the West's determination to eliminate poverty in Africa. Leaders of the richest countries in the world agreed that it was incumbent upon them to come to the aid of the poorest countries in the world. But as Giles Bolton makes so heartbreakingly clear in this compelling and at times angry manifesto, virtually nothing has changed. Drawing on his experience at ground zero of the international humanitarian aid movement, Bolton provides a simple, succinct but comprehensive guide to the complex reality of the aid industry in Africa. What really happens to your aid money? Where does the money go? How do globalization and trade regulations exacerbate the problem? How do government agencies waste and squander your money? In part the memoir of a dedicated, idealistic aid worker and in part a frustrated and angry jeremiad of a jaded political bureaucrat. Giles Bolton's Poor Story is a clarion call to everyone in the West to wise up to the reality of international aid, and a passionate and heartfelt plea to effect change and real relief'¦before it is too late.

Download or read book Aid for Trade Global and Regional Perspectives written by Philippe Lombaerde and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aid for Trade (AfT) has become a major item on the international trade and development discourse. This is to a large extent in response to concerns expressed by developing countries and economies in transition with regard to their capacities to implement trade agreements, especially WTO agreements, and undertake necessary adjustments to increase net development gains from emerging trade opportunities. In this World Report, major UN agencies active in development cooperation and longstanding providers of trade-related technical assistance and capacity building discuss ways to sustain the momentum towards the operationalization and implementation of the AfT initiative and the supportive role to be played by the UN system. This is consistent with UN's role in promoting development and helping to achieve poverty reduction, as committed in the Millennium Declaration and the 2005 World Summit Outcome. The Report should be of particular interest to government officials, officials of regional organizations, representatives of the private sector dealing with trade agreements and negotiations, civil society and academia. Supachai Panitchpakdi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD Lakshmi Puri is Acting Deputy Secretary-General and Director of the Division on International Trade and Services, and Commodities at UNCTAD in Geneva.

Download or read book The Domestic Politics of Foreign Aid written by Erik Lundsgaarde and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of shared rhetorical commitments to tackling poverty worldwide, donors have varied considerably in their use of aid as an instrument for global poverty reduction. This book explains varied donor priorities by examining how societal actors, governmental actors, and the institutions that regulate their interactions influence development policy choices. The Domestic Politics of Foreign Aid challenges explanations for donor generosity that identify humanitarian values, partisan politics, and welfare state institutions as key determinants of aid-giving patterns. It explains how the preferences of diverse sets of actors are amalgamated in the domestic political arena to shape national preferences for international redistribution. Drawing on interview research conducted with a variety of stakeholders in four donor countries (Denmark, France, Switzerland and the United States) and an extensive review of primary and secondary sources on aid politics in the countries studied, the book offers both a static overview of the characteristics of aid policymaking systems and a historical treatment of policymaking dynamics over a 25-year period (1980-2005). Applying a common theoretical framework to the four case studies and using development NGO advocacy as a starting point for examining the politics of aid, this book provides a synthesis of several strands of theoretical work dealing with interest group politics and political institutions to inform the analysis of the societal and governmental determinants of aid choices.

Download or read book Foreign Aid as Foreign Policy written by Jeffrey F. Taffet and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Aid as Foreign Policy presents a wide-ranging, thoughtful analysis of the most significant economic-aid program of the 1960s, John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress. Introduced in 1961, the program was a ten-year, multi-billion-dollar foreign-aid commitment to Latin American nations, meant to help promote economic growth and political reform, with the long-term goal of countering Communism in the region. Considering the Alliance for Progress in Chile, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia, Jeffrey F. Taffet deftly examines the program's successes and failures, providing an in-depth discussion of economic aid and foreign policy, showing how policies set in the 1960s are still affecting how the U.S. conducts foreign policy today. This study adds an important chapter to the history of US-Latin American Relations.

Download or read book Global Food Security and Development Aid written by Ivica Petrikova and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the global level, international actors have repeatedly expressed their desire to end hunger and food insecurity. However, food insecurity has persisted. More analysis is hence needed on the link between continuously high levels of global food insecurity and the ever increasing flow of development aid. Global Food Security and Development Aid investigates the impact that development aid has had on food security in developing countries and includes international case studies on Peru, Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. It examines the effect of development aid in general and the impact of aid divided into different categories based on donor, mechanism and sector to which it is provided. In each examined relationship between aid and food security, particular attention is paid to the potentially intervening role played by the quality of national and/or local governance. The book makes policy recommendations, most importantly that donors should take greater care in considering which types of aid are suitable to which specific countries, localities, and development goals, and account for expected developments in the complex relationship between aid, food security, and governance. This book will be of considerable interest to students, researchers and policy-makers in the areas of development aid and food security.
