Aid can only be a catalyst, not a driver of development. Aid can work: it has achieved notable successes in even the most disadvantageous country settings. But it is not a panacea. Many new players-such as middle-income countries, private philanthropists and even the private business community-are now providing aid, but their impact depends on how aid is organized and delivered. Catalyzing Development is an in-depth analysis of the new approaches that are needed to meet development challenges. Over two-fifths of official aid goes to support thirty-five developing countries with a combined population of 940 million that can be classified as fragile or at risk of suffering debilitating internal conflict. Another fifth is provided in the form of technical cooperation, and one-tenth is already being provided for climate change. There is as yet no consensus on how best to use aid in these situations. Similarly, the large amounts of aid from the private nonprofit and for-profit sectors, and from middle income countries, are not optimized through coordination with traditional aid. The impact of development could be increased across the board by improved aid effectiveness. This up-to-date and insightful volume, featuring contributions from academia as well as the aid community, frames aid in this context: how can aid from each development partner play a catalytic role, not the leading role? Development will not happen because of aid, but aid can make a difference. The next High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness will discuss these issues in 2011. This volume presents research and recommendations to inform that process.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Some may dispute the effectiveness of aid. But few would disagree that aid delivered to the right source and in the right way can help poor and fragile countries develop. It can be a catalyst, but not a driver of development. Aid now operates in an arena with new players, such as middle-income countries, private philanthropists, and the business community; new challenges presented by fragile states, capacity development, and climate change; and new approaches, including transparency, scaling up, and South-South cooperation. The next High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness must determine how to organize and deliver aid better in this environment.Catalyzing Development proposes ten actionable game-changers to meet these challenges based on in-depth, scholarly research. It advocates for these to be included in a Busan Global Development Compact in order to guide the work of development partners in a flexible and differentiated manner in the years ahead.Contributors: Kemal Dervis (Brookings Institution), Shunichiro Honda (JICA Research Institute), Akio Hosono (JICA Research Institute), Johannes F. Linn (Emerging Markets Forum and Brookings Institution), Ryutaro Murotani (JICA Research Institute), Jane Nelson (Harvard Kennedy School and Brookings Institution), Mai Ono (JICA Research Institute), Kang-ho Park (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Korea), Tony Pipa (U.S. Agency for International Development), Sarah Puritz Milsom (Brookings Institution), Hyunjoo Rhee (Korea International Cooperation Agency), Mine Sato (JICA Research Institute), Shinichi Takeuchi (JICA Research Institute), Keiichi Tsunekawa (JICA Research Institute), Ngaire Woods (University College, Oxford), Sam Worthington (InterAction)'.
