Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter points to the statistical non-significance of development assistance in developing countries’ economic progress. Although the findings may reinforce the believe of the irrelevance of official development aid, it should, however, be kept in mind that such apparent failures may also be the result of elements outside the control of international development assistance institutions, and we must be careful not to quickly underestimate the wise and helpful job undertaken by well-intentioned individuals (officials and non-officials), and the incremental progress that has been made in the fight of poverty. Official development assistance may require more attention to unearth the causes of failure, mainly weakness of public governance.
