چکیده
Aid given by non-DAC donors (“new donors”) gains increasing attention. The recent literature moved beyond the presentation of qualitative evidence to more rigorous analyses based on improved data collection. In this paper we investigate the lessons of this emerging literature. We discuss whether the allocation of aid from non-DAC donors is different from that of DAC donors and how non-DAC donors differ among each other. We also discuss how the presence of non-DAC donors might impact on the effectiveness of aid. Overall, we argue that non-DAC aid is not necessarily inferior to DAC aid.

متن کاملAre 'New' Donors Different? Comparing the Allocation of Bilateral Aid between Non-DAC and DAC Donor Countries
Major DAC donors are widely criticized for weak targeting of aid, selfish aid motives and insufficient coordination. The emergence of an increasing number of new donors may further complicate the coordination of international aid efforts. On the other hand, new donors (many of which were aid recipients until recently) may have competitive advantages in allocating aid according to need and merit...
