Is aid a waste of money?
Significance, vol. 11, no. 1, 2014, pp. 31–32
Abstract
It is sometimes claimed that overseas development aid is wasted; that little of it reaches the poor. After fifty years of aid, there are still many poor countries, and about a billion people still live on less than a dollar a day. Can we conclude that aid is wasted? Owen Barder has a statistic that says otherwise.
