Book excerpt: Developing nations are faced with challenges of meeting the development needs of their people. They are faced with what is termed the 'The Forex Exchange Gap and Investment Gap. The developed world in their bid to ameliorate the situation have given billions of dollars in the form of aid to the developing world of the years. Despite aid, developing countries are still faced with challenges of extreme poverty, preventable diseases and weak economies.As such lots of questions were asked about aid effectiveness. This resulted in discussions on aid effectiveness. Two important conferences that discussed aid effectiveness were the Paris High-Level Forum and the Accra Agenda for Action.The outcome of these meetings were the establishment of the tenets of harmonizing donor assistance in order to make it more effective. The Multi Donor Budget Support programme was designed as a general budget support through which aid is made available to Ghana, to augment its budget. The MDBS followed the principles of the Paris Declaration to make aid effective. This book assesses the effectiveness of the MDBS in the areas of poverty reduction, aid predictability and aid alignment with national policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1,0, University of Birmingham (International Development Department), language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the aid instrument budget support and discusses its strengths and weaknesses in terms of the expected effects of the instrument in areas such as donor harmonisation, ownership, aid effectiveness and accountability. By presenting the international context in which the rise of program-based approaches, such as budget support, took place and by summarizing the actual debate about the instrument and its effectiveness, the paper elaborates a set of assumptions and hypothesises which are affecting the overall performance of the instrument and have to be addressed based on the specific country context. In consequence, it examines and tests these assumptions by critically analyzing the Multi Donor Budget Support in Ghana based on a field study conducted in Accra in July 2010. The central argument of the paper is that general budget support can be one of the most effective aid instruments available at the time, as long as problems inherent to the instrument are addressed and tackled to prevent negative side effects. It comes to the conclusion that the MDBS in Ghana, although there is still room for improvement and entry points for critique, is a functioning example on how to acknowledge and implement the principles of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Accra Agenda for Action. Especially the quality of the policy dialogue and initiatives taken to avoid negative side effects in areas such as domestic as well as mutual accountability and ownership could become valuable examples for others to follow.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2009 External Review of Public Expenditures and Financial Management (ERPEFM) is the fifth in a series of annual assessments by some of the development agencies that contribute to the Multi-Donor Budgetary Support (MDBS) in Ghana. The review was prepared in close collaboration and after extensive discussions with senior government officials in the Government of Ghana, in particular with officials from the ministry of finance and economic planning. The main purpose of the review is to inform based on research findings the policy dialogue on public financial management that takes place in Ghana. The implementation of the 2009 budget is happening against the backdrop of the Government's stated objective of reducing the overall fiscal deficit to 9.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), down from an estimated 14.5 percent in 2008. The remainder of this chapter is organized as follows. Section B recapitulates the change in Ghanaian public finances in 2008. Section C discusses the country's fiscal outlook and the policy challenges ahead. Section D closes the chapter with the main conclusions and recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: To investigate how donors and government agencies responded to a proliferation of donors providing aid to Ghana's health sector between 1995 and 2012. Methods: We interviewed 39 key informants from donor agencies, central government and nongovernmental organizations in Accra. These respondents were purposively selected to provide local and international views from the three types of institutions. Data collected from the respondents were compared with relevant documentary materials - e.g. reports and media articles - collected during interviews and through online research. Findings: Ghana's response to donor proliferation included creation of a sector wide approach, a shift to sector budget support, the institutionalization of a Health Sector Working Group and anticipation of donor withdrawal following the country's change from low-income to middle-income. Key themes included the importance of leadership and political support, the internalization of norms for harmonization, alignment and ownership, tension between the different methods used to improve aid effectiveness, and a shift to a unidirectional accountability paradigm for health-sector performance. Conclusion: In 1995-2012, the country's central government and donors responded to donor proliferation in health-sector aid by promoting harmonization and alignment. This response was motivated by Ghana's need for foreign aid, constraints on the capacity of governmental human resources and inefficiencies created by donor proliferation. Although this decreased the government's transaction costs, it also increased the donors' coordination costs and reduced the government's negotiation options. Harmonization and alignment measures may have prompted donors to return to stand-alone projects to increase accountability and identification with beneficial impacts of projects.
