Abstract
At its core, this book is about responding to change: the last few decades have seen the emergence of new aid actors, new aid modalities and, perhaps most fundamentally, a new geography of global poverty. In light of these changes, this book revisits the contested literature on aid and the uncertain evidence on aid effectiveness, and seeks to lessons and findings that might help us sketch out a practical and appropriate way of ‘doing aid’ in the future.
