First book on aid to provide a comprehensive examination of official, NGO andemergency/humanitarian aid. Persuasively argues that aid is not necessary fordevelopment to happen - though, if used properly, it can provide an importantcatalyst to accelerate the development process. Argues that one of aid's mainfailings is the existence of too many donors and too many NGOs. Foreign aid is now a $100bn business and is expanding more rapidly today than it has for a generation. But does it work? Indeed, is it needed at all?. Other attempts to answer this important question have been dominated by a focus on the impact ofofficial aid provided by governments. But today possibly as much as 30 percent of aid is provided by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and over 10 percent is provided as emergency assistance. INDICE:. 1. A Good Thing?.
