Implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness

undp.org –

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. Slow progress on UNDP’s use of more...

How Rwanda Judged Its Genocide

allafrica.com –

Since 2001, the gacaca community courts have been the centrepiece of Rwanda’s justice and reconciliation process. Nearly every adult Rwandan has participated in the trials, but lawyers are banned from any official involvement. Human rights organisations fiercely opposed the use of gacaca for trying genocide cases, on the grounds that it fell short of international legal standards of fairness. Much criticism reflects legal rigidity towards the unprecedented challenges confronting more...

UGANDA: Rwandan refugees still reluctant to repatriate

irinnews.org –

Thousands of Rwandan refugees living in Uganda remain unwilling to return home, citing a fear of persecution, despite the UN Refugee Agency’s (UNHCR) invocation of a clause ending their refugee status. “[Since May 2009], no Rwandan refugee of any profile, either urban or rural, has expressed [a] willingness to return back home,” Manzi Mutuyimana, one of the refugees, told IRIN. “Conditions which could make [a] safe return with dignity [do not exist] in Rwanda.”

Food & Justice: Investing in human security in a challenging governance context

After 20 years of impressive progress that brought back stability to Uganda and led to economic growth that increased prosperity for many, development has slowed down. Although Uganda has good policies and frameworks in place for nearly all the challenges it faces, patronage politics heavily influence the governance situation. The Embassy (EKN) has made choices for its new strategy and the implementation modalities based on this context. Taking into account new Dutch policy priorities, EKN has more...

Market Integration and Border Effects in Eastern Africa

csae.ox.ac.uk –

This paper studies border effects in Eastern Africa by exploiting a consumer price data set. The Law-of-One-Price (LOP) is tested by running level regressions on relative prices with city-pairs the unit of observation. Unsurprisingly, distance plays an important role in explaining relative price movements, both within and between countries. The border effect as measured by the coefficient on a border dummy is significant but smaller compared to what is usually found in the Engel-Rogers more...

First, development aid was effective at promoting democratic transitions during the 1990s in those African countries that were beset by economic crisis, faced more...

Foreign Aid’s Impact on Political Institutions

nyudri.files.wordpress.com –

How does foreign aid affect recipient countries’ political institutions? Two competing hypotheses offer contradictory predictions. The first sees aid, when delivered correctly, as an important means of making dictatorial recipient countries more democratic. The second sees aid as a corrosive force on recipient countries’ political institutions that makes them more dictatorial. This paper offers a third hypothesis about how aid affects recipients’ political institutions that we call the more...
