What Determines the Size of Aid Projects?

Christopher Kilby

World Development, 2011, vol. 39, issue 11, 1981-1994

Abstract: Over the last few years, considerable attention has focused on aid fragmentation, the proliferation of donors and projects in developing countries. Aid fragmentation has continued to increase despite international efforts to foster donor coordination. One possible implication of fragmentation is smaller aid projects, potentially with the result of more administrative work for overtaxed recipient governments per dollar of aid received.
