The Aid Relationship in Zambia


Book Description

Does aid work? This book examines this issue. But rather than trying to establish how effective aid has been, the focus is shifted towards one of the key determinants of effectiveness -- the aid relationship. The study looks at the relationship between Zambia and its donors and discusses the likely impact of aid in a country where poverty has become rampant and the international debt has reached unmanageable proportions.
