The Impact of Foreign Aid on Government Spending, Revenue and Domestic Borrowing in Ethiopia

Chapter 6 in Economic Alternatives for Growth, Employment and Poverty Reduction, 2009, pp 100-136 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Foreign aid flows to developing countries have increased in the last few years. This fact can be explained, to some extent, by the commitments undertaken by donor countries to fight poverty in the developing world. The Monterrey Declaration of 2002 and the G-8 Summit in Gleneagles of 2005 gave some reasons to believe that this trend would be sustained in the coming years, in particular for sub-Saharan Africa countries, where more effort and resources are needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
