Pakistan's Foreign AID Dilemma I EconFest Debate



Published
Foreign aid's contribution to development is contested. Pakistan appears to be an aid-addicted country. Every government has adopted a Fund program,
seldom with success. Instead of reform and good policy, successive governments have chosen to beg for aid.
There are about 40+ official donors in the country, all of whom confront policy-makers regularly with their contrasting and competing priorities, overlapping project activities, and choice of aid modalities and instruments. Our policy capacity is incapable of dealing with this complexity of the aid delivery system. #ForeignAid #Pakistan #IMF #WorldBank #Loan #Debt
