 Domestic Resource Mobilization for Social Transfers in Sub-Saharan Africa: Can Foreign Aid Act as a Catalyst?Cécile Cherrier ()
Chapter 3 in The Politics of Domestic Resource Mobilization for Social Development, 2020, pp 75-108 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Cherrier investigates the extent to which, and the mechanisms through which, foreign aid actors have influenced the emergence of permanent, scaled-up and nationally owned social transfer schemes in sub-Saharan Africa. Challenging prominent views on aid for social protection, the author establishes that foreign aid can have a catalytic effect on the mobilization of domestic resources for social transfers in a low-income country context. Drawing on empirical evidence from a dozen case studies, Cherrier uncovers four common stories of the roles played by foreign aid actors. She concludes with a reflection on critical issues that still need to be tackled for social transfer schemes to help address poverty and inequality at a more transformative level in the sub-Saharan African region.
