Microfinance Development Gateway:
This paper examines the extent to which the distribution of development assistance is directed towards the poorest countries by exploring the way in which top six bilateral donors (USA, Japan, Germany, UK, France and Netherlands) and top three multilateral donors (World Bank, European Union Commission and UN) distribute their development assistance (DA). The paper concludes with a discussion of the questions the analysis poses for aid policy and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Author: Bob Baulch.
