Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Aid and Bangladesh offers a rich combination of aid history – from the evolution of aid as a global agenda after WWII to the rise of different multilateral, bilateral, and emerging donors and their policy shifts – and a nuanced perspective of aid partnerships at the country level. Drawing on first-hand experiences and insights, the author deeply investigates the realities of a longstanding aid recipient, Bangladesh, and argues that without a political economy approach, one cannot understand the realpolitik of development aid. As an emerging economy from the global south, Bangladesh has been a longstanding partner and recipient of international aid since 1971. Bangladesh has also been active in the global discussions leading to redefining the new narrative and arguments for the new aid regime since the beginning of this century. Building on the analysis of Bangladesh's aid relations, the book shows that there has not been any qualitative shift in aid behavior in the new aid regime that set new norms after the end of the Cold War to ensure recipients' ownership and welcomed an expanding aid landscape by integrating emerging economies from the Global South for achieving better development results. The book analyzes the role of different actors in the development partnership, both traditional and emerging donors - such as China and India, and their partnership practices. It examines different forms of aid and their changing perspective, particularly technical assistance. Based on more than two decades of research and profound insider observations, the book debunks the myth that Southern providers could be more benign to their partners. The arguments placed in the book expose that there is no difference between traditional and emerging donors in ensuring donors' business and strategic interests. While donors continue to ensure their interests in providing aid, the Realpolitik of the situation in the recipient country shows that there is a specific economic and political agenda in pursuing aid. Presenting a comprehensive picture of Bangladesh's aid partnership, through the lens of new development partnership principles and narratives of development aid, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of aid and development studies and political science as well as South Asian Studies. Donor officials, civil servants, and national and international policy communities will also benefit from this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, University of Dhaka, language: English, abstract: The effectiveness of foreign aids to the third world developing countries is a controversial issue. Liberal economists thought, key to economic success is appropriate usage of loans, and if it is utilized effectively, such loans can have a hugely important role to play. Loans can contribute to poverty reduction, to fill the deficit of budget gap, to build big construction such as bridge, roads, public buildings, educational institutions etc. But critique of foreign aid such as Andre Gudner Frank argues that foreign aid is a means of domination, dependency, exploitation to the third world developing countries. In the colonial era, imperialist countries accumulated raw materials, natural resources, mineral resources etc. directly through colonialism or imperialism. In the present neocolonial or neoliberal society, aid is a new form of domination, dependency to the third world countries and also a means of trade, marketing of machineries, technologies etc. Bangladesh, located in South Asia, is one of the poorest countries in the world. According to the UNDP’s 2010 Country Summary report, the country has a large population 164.7 million and having GDP per Capita is $ 1300. External debt is $ 316.7 per $ 1000 GDP. Foreign aid both grants and loans has impacts on the economy of Bangladesh. It contributes to the development works like bridge, roads, highways, infrastructural works etc. But it is also leading to growing indebtedness, dependency, domination etc. Padma Bridge project is the most recent and best example of foreign aid as means of development or dependency of a country. World Bank is gradually delaying the project for the acquisition of corruption against SNC- Lavalin Company and former communication minister Sayad Abul Hoshen etc. But there is also acquisition against World Bank that it was itself was in favor of fault lender institution. Recently, Bangladesh has withdrawn its proposal from World Bank but World Bank has declared that proposed loan for Padma Bridge is fixed for Bangladesh and Bangladesh can use the loan in other development projects. My paper argues that foreign aid has impact on the development but it is also means of domination and trade of donors. Bangladesh is not self sufficient not to take the aid but if the aid is channeled through appropriate biding and utilized effectively, such aid can have hugely important role for development.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign aid effectiveness has been a hot topic for several decades. Bangladesh has been receiving foreign assistance since its independence in 1971 and has taken various initiatives in enhancing the effectiveness of aid. The signing of the Paris Declaration is one such initiative where the government has committed to improve aid delivery and management so as to ensure the proper utilization of aid in its development programs. This paper examines the impact of foreign aid on Bangladesh's economic growth before and after the signing of the Paris Declaration in 2005. The result of the analysis is such that there is almost no change in the aid-growth relationship before and after adopting the Paris Declaration principles. Moreover, even though aid-dependency and Dutch Disease effects were always minimal in Bangladesh, the inflow of external assistance was to some extent volatile in the pre-declaration phase. However, the fluctuation of aid has not progressed further in the post-declaration phases. Hence, the overall macroeconomic impact of foreign aid remains the same, concluding that the Paris declaration has not yet played a constructive role in enhancing the aid-growth relationship within the economy.

Book excerpt: "Bangladesh evokes profound, moving impressions. The country is the most densely populated state in the world. It has limited natural resources and is highly vulnerable to natural disasters. Famine is an ever-present danger... Emerging from a bloody war in 1971, the country's capacity to survive was widely doubted. But Bangladesh has survived, and has made progress in economic and social development." Despite the political traumas from 1977 to 1980, Bangladesh has made progress in economic and social development and has been transformed over the past 16 years. From the country's inception, the World Bank has been involved in Bangladesh's economic development. The International Development Association (IDA) has financed about a quarter of all foreign aid commitments. However, Bangladesh's dependence on foreign aid has raised concerns regarding sovereignty and self-reliance in the development process. This Country Assistance Review (CAR) presents the findings of an Operations Evaluation Department team that visited Bangladesh in August/September 1996. It represents a synthesis of the key findings of the evaluation. The CAR's main conclusion is that IDA's assistance to Bangladesh has been effective, and the partnership forged with the government has brought some notable successes. The lessons drawn from it are presented at a strategic level and are applicable in Bangladesh and other countries.

Download or read book Impact of Foreign Aid on Development in Bangladesh written by Dr Muhammad Abu Obaydullah and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangladesh is largely dependent on foreign aid for its development activities. The country has received some US$50 billion in aid over 40 years of its existence. The central purpose of this thesis is to study how the massive influx of aid has been put to use. Subsequently, this huge amount of aid has had little impact on the country's socioeconomic development, and little of the benefits of aid have reached the poor who constitute the vast majority of the population. The main aim of this thesis is to determine why this is so. An objective will be to derive an understanding of the aid philosophy of donors and their contributions towards the formulation of the development policy in Bangladesh. The analysis should help shed some light on the development agenda of donors as well as recipients, and should be especially useful to academics, development professionals, statesmen, students of economics and development studies, or anyone else who may be interested in foreign aid and its impact on a country of the developing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign aid is an essential part of public financial management. Bangladesh, a typical LDC significantly depends on external sources due to the crisis in domestic resources. Two-gap Model is a well-known technique to evaluate the necessity of foreign aid in the economic development of an economic entity. Bangladesh is suffering from continuous savings-investment and export-import gaps which require external resources to maintain its desired level of development. This study ensures the inevitability of foreign aid in the economic development of Bangladesh. It also tries to evaluate the performance of the different governmental systems. One of the key factors in external resources management is negotiation. In this era of globalization the aid architecture has got a new dimension which is by and large fulfilling the donors' interest. There is little room for the debtor countries to make the negotiation in favour of their desire. This study found no significant difference in the process of aid negotiation by the political parties i.e. whatever the governmental structure; recipient country has nothing to say in aid negotiation rather to a great extent it is determined by the donors.
