Overview

Analysis shows that country-level factors influence development outcomes in foreign aid projects, suggesting a focus on governance and income levels.

Key Points

  • Higher-income countries generally achieve better project outcome ratings, enhancing the effectiveness of foreign aid initiatives.
  • Evidence highlights good governance and control of corruption as critical factors for successful aid project outcomes.
  • A fixed effects model was employed to analyze project data from over 20,000 foreign assistance projects across twelve donors.
  • Findings suggest that foreign aid strategies should consider shifting resources to better-governed countries to improve effectiveness.
