Notes	CIP data; item not viewed Assessing the Impact of Foreign Aid: Value for Money and Aid for Trade provides updated information on how to improve foreign aid programs, exploring the concept and practice of impact assessment within the sometimes-unproblematic approaches advocated in current literature of value for money and aid for trade. Contributors from multi-lateral agencies and NGOs discuss the changing patterns of Official Development Assistance and their effects on impact assessment, providing theoretical, political, structural, methodological, and practical frameworks, discussions, and a theory-practice nexus. With twin foci of economics and policy this book raises the potential for making sophisticated and coherent decisions on aid allocation to developing countries Includes index ReferencesChapter 5-The rhetoric and reality of results and impact assessment in donor agencies: A practitioners' perspective1; Introduction; The changing aid environment; The pursuit of success; Understanding the "results culture"; The accountability and transparency agenda; The learning and efficacy agenda; A fly in the ointment?; The push for impact assessment; The changing face of impact assessment; Results reporting and impact assessment in a contested, dynamic, and political environment; Program design; Programme delivery and management Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Contributors; Author Biographies; Preface; Chapter 1 -- Official development assistance and impact assessment -- theoretical and practical frameworks; Introduction; Aid, ODA, and resource flows to the developing world; Background to foreign aid; Contemporary debates, aid effectiveness, value for money, and aid for trade; Aid effectiveness; Value for money; Aid, development, results, and impact; Conclusion; References; Chapter 2 -- Conceptualizing impact assessment in foreign aid; Introduction; Results and impact The evolution of impact assessmentImpact assessment in theory and practice; Transparency and accountability; Ex-ante and Ex-post IA; Conclusion; References; Chapter 3 -- Competing development paradigms and alternative evaluations of aid effectiveness: challenging the dominant neoliber ... ; Introduction; A political economy background; The quest for modernization: the neoclassical foundations; Dissenting voices from the south: the challenge of the dependency theory; Basic needs; The rise of neoliberalism: globalization and development theory The global financial crisis and emerging challenges to neoliberalismConcluding thoughts: toward a new development paradigm and a new role for aid; References; Chapter 4 -- Aid for trade: A critical analysis; Introduction; Unpacking "aid for trade" within a context of ODA; The increased quest for accountability; AfT from theoretical underpinnings to conceptualization; A critique of AfT; Trade not aid; Critique of the neoliberal ODA agenda; Toward a paradigm shift in AfT; Paradigm shift: AfT as a subset of VfM; Around and around; back to assessing impact and aid for trade; Conclusion Reporting, accountability, and (impact) evaluationLesson learning and application; An evolving context?; Looking forward; The implications for aid investments and the framing of results; The implications for impact assessment; Conclusion; References; Chapter 6 -- Beyond aid distribution: Aid effectiveness, neoliberal and neostructural reforms in Pacific Island Countries; Introduction; Overview of development aid; Economic reforms in pics: key issues; The limitations of economic reforms; Case study 1: Sovi basin conservation area in Fiji Elsevier ScienceDirect All Books HTTP:URL=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128036600
