This hypothesis was so influential policy recommendation, to provide aid conditional upon recipient domesti c policies, is currently the dominant ODA allocation criterion. However noneconomic dimensions of development (political and institutional) are increasingly seen as fundamental. For this reason, this paper focuses on the linkage between aid and a nonecono mic measure of aid effectiveness, in factor like Human Rights (reflecting repression and corruption) as a explaining growth outcomes across 42 Least Developed economies. We find that countries with better human rights experience positive growth from aid re role of strong institutions and good governance ceipts, signifying the in enabling more effective use of aid. The paper thus concludes that the measurement and monitoring likely effectiveness of foreign aid.
