A few weeks ago, William Easterly published a characteristic attack on DFID’s  promotion of general budget support on his Aidwatch blog entitled  Why Does British Foreign Aid Prefer Poor Governments Over Poor People? He argues that DFID gives b…

Barder’s presentation of oecd material as ‘evidence’ is pretty weak. DFID itself is a major figure in OECD, the donors club. Their evaluations are hardly disinterested. So dismiss oecd reports, in this case.

As for corruption? Here in Tanzania, DFID’s largest aid recipient I believe, the unseemly scramble for rents by elites is played out more and more publicly, with little sign of it abating and every sign it may be getting worse – rents that wouldn’t be so considerable but for the 35 percent of the government budget that comes from donors.

So the trade off is between patchy improvements in indicators that at times have a real impact on poor people’s lives and supporting dodgy regimes who ultimately couldn’t care less about those same people. It’s a tough one and I’m suspicious of the cheerleaders on both sides. But you can probably work out which way I lean.

It is high time for the US to reconsider their politics and associate with friends of the people but not enemies of the people.

The reason for the visit was the realisation that I and some colleagues had that providing “developed country grade” weather forecasts to Ethiopian farmers would enable them to produce more food, perhaps as much as 10% more for the whole country. So we wanted to see if the infrastructure there could support delivering the right information to the right people, and as far as it went the answer was yes. Though as with so many things related to aid, the sensible thing didn’t happen, so the farmers still don’t get the forecasts.

What happens instead is of course entirely rational if aid is being provided by a democracy. Except of course much of the aid is wasted – since there’s no reason to be efficient, or effective, just as fair as possible. It seems likely that those who identify where UK aid goes don’t want to be providing aid to people who could be helped by their own government. Hence aid goes to the poorest countries.

Once the country has been identified the aid is then directed towards the poorest regions, and quite possibly to the poorest communities and eventually to the poorest people. In many ways I’m entirely happy with this arrangement if it doesn’t stop development. Trouble is my own experience is that it does inhibit development.

To trial improvements in agricultural productivity in Ethiopia our project needed to work with farmers that weren’t on the edge of famine but who produced a surplus and had the necessary networks to market an even greater surplus and invest in their community. There are many such farmers in the more central regions on Ethiopia, that of course never get discussed when aid is the topic.

We haven’t given up, and after quite a lot of grief from our bosses, we didn’t even get sacked – I suppose that’s one bonus of being a UK civil servant.

So if all goes well the project will restart later this year, but working with farmers in Nepal.

A. We would have the mother of all the regressive tax systems, with the marginal tax rate for the poorest being 100%.

Would anyone really support such a regressive tax system? I don’t think so!

The reason the most fundamental piece of the oil curse, the centralization of oil revenues in government´s hands, making them wealthy independently of their citizens, is so little discussed is because governments speaks mostly to governments and, in these discussions, among colleagues, the citizens are really of secondary importance.

The truth is that there is no such thing as an oil-cursed politicians, oil-cursed governments or oil cursed policymakers, on the contrary they are all most often shining examples of oil blessings… there are only oil-cursed citizens and that is why we need a global coalition of oil cursed citizens.
