Do Donors Help or Hinder? Aid is always a means of influence: political, commercial, military and security-related. Some influence is benign, but much of it is coercive, even &apos imperialistic&apos . Given the nature of aid, its effectiveness should be judged not only in developmental terms, but in terms of international relations. Even donors agree that, on both counts, the returns are meagre. This book, drawing on the author&apos s 30 years of field experience, proposes two kinds of solution: donors should climb down from paternalistic central planning practices and support public goods that are neutral and beneficial , cancellation of debt, fair trade, responsible economic governance, vaccine production, peace-making and peace-keeping. For their part, developing countries should follow the example of the most successful among them: recognize the true costs of &apos free&apos aid, exercise their prerogative to choose their development partners and start paying their own way.
