The Future of Aid 2005 – 2010 Masood Ahmed DFID January 14th
4 Strategic Policy Priorities • Delivering for Reforming Countries • 2nd generation PRSs, harmonisation, conditionality • Conflict, Disasters and Failing States • Idiosyncratic finance patterns, needs of poor • Supporting Middle Income Countries • Too little flexibility, no agreed approach • Making the case for more aid • Winning over the sceptics, IFF and collective action
Architecture • Member-states, share-holders and bilateral donors – getting the balance right ? • We can influence the pattern of the architecture, history and anecdotes still dominate, what do poor countries want ? • Where should we be going with IDA 14 ? • Flexibility, debt sustainability, behaviour • Global funds, MCA and philanthropic flows ? • Can/should bilaterals adjust ?
