Description
Can donors do more to support progressive political and economic change in poor countries? Is a new approach needed to selecting the most appropriate mix of aid instruments in a given context? What are country-level public financial management reforms delivering in terms of a better context for utilising aid? Can attention to donor agency incentives and non-budget support instruments help deliver improvements in aid effectiveness at country level?
