2014 AAIDP Workshop - Roger Riddell - Does aid really work?
Episode description
Roger Ridell is an associate at Oxford Policy Management and is a development and aid specialist with some 40 years’ experience. His 2008 book Does Foreign Aid Really Work? was the first attempt in more than 20 years to survey the evidence around whether aid actually works. Roger’s keynote address provided an updated assessment on aid’s impact, discussed what impact we ought to expect aid to have and outlined ways in which its impact could be improved.
A summary blog of his speech, which includes links to a full transcript and related discussion paper, is available here: http://devpolicy.org/does-foreign-aid-really-work-an-updated-answer-20140214/
