Aid, Poverty Reduction and the ‘New Conditionality’
Open accessAbstract
The paper examines the effect of aid on poverty, rather than on economic growth. We devise a ‘pro‐poor (public) expenditure index’, and present evidence that, together with inequality and corruption, this is a key determinant of the aid’s poverty leverage. After presenting empirical evidence which suggests a positive leverage of aid donors on pro‐poor expenditure, we argue for the development of conditionality in a new form, which gives greater flexibility to donors in punishing slippage on previous commitments, and keys aid disbursements to performance in respect of policy variables which governments can influence in a pro‐poor direction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
