The Reality of Aid 1999-2000

A country-by-country analysis of approaches to poverty reduction and development co-operation. The book draws together trends and comparisons of the way donors address poverty, environment and gender and the place of commercial and political interests. The key questions are now more about the way that aid is implemented and whether the reality in the field is keeping pace with the policy on the page. There are 21 reports on how aid is spent for each OECD donor country and the EU.
