Improving quality of aid

Description

Improving the quality of aid involves implementing rigorous needs assessments, ensuring transparency, and fostering local participation to maximize impact and minimize waste. This strategy prioritizes aligning aid with recipient priorities, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, and building local capacity. By addressing inefficiencies, reducing dependency, and promoting accountability, it remedies issues such as misallocation, duplication, and unsustainable outcomes, ultimately ensuring that aid effectively supports long-term development and resilience in recipient communities.

Context

In the case of the impoverished, this could be done through increased provision of quick-disbursing programme aid, and local recurrent cost financing in order to meet the special requirements of social programmes. Sustainability in the provision of aid is however also important.
