The Reality of Aid 2002 : an independent review of poverty reduction and international development assistance

---

Reality of Aid 2002 is a unique source of data, independent evaluation and comment on what the international community is doing- and needs to do- to end poverty and ensure sustainable development.

The Reality of Aid project started monitoring aid and development cooperation policy and practice a decade ago. Its aim is to increase transparency and accountability both to the public in OECD donor countries and to people living in poverty in developing countries.

Ten years on from the Earth Summit, commitments to eliminate absolute poverty abound and the resources needed to fulfil them exist. Yet aid has fallen and more people are living in poverty than ever before. The need for public pressure for political leadership and international action to address global suffering and inequality has never been greater. This eighth edition of Reality of Aid looks at the issues of ownership and conditionality. It discusses whether an aid regime based on conditionality is really consistent with the local ownership that is widely acknowledged to be crucial to ensuring real accountability and sustainable poverty reduction. The evidence suggests that while donor policy and rhetoric has shifted, a combination of inertia and political and economic self-interest is impeding a real shift in the control of policy and resources from North to South.

Reality of Aid 2002 draws on the experience of around 40 NGOs and NGO coalitions in Africa, Asia, Latin America and OECD countries to present a range of perspectives on ownership and conditionality.

It includes updates from OECD NGOs on the policies and practices of each bilateral donor. It also provides an overview of trends in aid and poverty, including graphs that give a clear picture of how far donors are delivering - and failing to deliver - on the promises they have made.
