Beyond budgetary support: Pro-poor development agendas for Africa

Article Abstract:

The arguments and practices of donor agencies that are advocating the use of budgetary support mechanisms as being the most appropriate means for the disbursal of bilateral and multilateral aid in Africa are challenged. The donors should pay more attention to what they can do themselves to alleviate the causes of poverty rather than focusing on its symptoms.
