Book Reviews of Reinventing Foreign Aid
Book Review: Foreign aid and all we don't know
Summary: 5 Stars
This collection of studies illuminates one of (probably THE) problem with the theories and practice of development assistance: we just don't know what we're doing, and don't really understand the effects of our actions. This book, along with others, should become required reading within the development institutions. It should also incite those institutions and their staff to greater modesty as they go about their work -- modesty to the point of admitting their agnosticism.
Summary of Reinventing Foreign Aid
Top experts in the field discuss how to improve the effectiveness of foreign aid, proposing practical solutions to specific problems rather than a utopian master plan.
