Implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

Implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

UNDP’s involvement in the Paris Declaration process is two-pronged: 1) to engage on development cooperation issues, specifically the quality of aid; and 2) to support developing countries’ implementation of the aid effectiveness commitments and to facilitate their participation in global fora. With the exception of using country systems where further progress is needed, UNDP is faring well overall in reaching the 2010 Paris Declaration targets on effective aid.

Should Easier Access to International Credit Replace Foreign Aid?

Should Easier Access to International Credit Replace Foreign Aid?

research.stlouisfed.org –

In this paper, the authors examine the interaction between foreign aid and binding borrowing constraint for a recipient country. They also analyze how these two instruments affect economic growth via non-linear relationships. First of all, a two-country, two-period trade-theoretic model is established to develop testable hypotheses and then dynamic panel analysis is used to test those hypotheses empirically. The main findings are that: (i) better access to international credit for a recipient more...

UNIDO and the Least Developed Countries: Partners for Prosperity

UNIDO and the Least Developed Countries: Partners for Prosperity

The recent financial and economic crisis has had a devastating impact on LDCs. They have been forced to cope with reduced inflows in foreign direct investment and remittances, a slowdown in exports, and consequently a deceleration in growth. UNIDO, as the UN’s specialized industrial development agency, has a long history of involvement in addressing poverty in LDCs through its activities in agribusiness, trade capacity-building, and access to clean energy.

The Middle of the Pyramid: Dynamics of the Middle Class in Africa

The Middle of the Pyramid: Dynamics of the Middle Class in Africa

The brief addresses the implications of Africa’s growing middle class for the African economy and for poverty reduction in the region. In particular, it argues that the middle class may hold the key to a rebalancing of African economies towards more dependency on domestic demand and away from a heavy reliance on exports, as well as to greater and more efficient poverty reduction and inclusive growth. It presents evidence based on research and studies of 45 African countries.

How the Most Successful Reformers Organized Themselves

rru.worldbank.org –

Only a small number of developing economies have managed to grow out of poverty in one generation, sustaining GDP per capita growth at rates averaging more than 4 percent a year. Achieving this economic performance required deep microeconomic reforms spanning many policy areas and industries. How did these reformers organize themselves at the beginning of their development journey? A recent study examined that question by focusing on five cases—Botswana, Cape Verde, Malaysia, Mauritius, and more...
