: "Aid Effectiveness
The ever-shifting debate over the aid industry and the right way to help the world's poor has acquired new focus. There is a new, overdue, and welcome focus on measuring results. No longer is it enough to point, whether with pride or with criticism, at the raw volume of money transferred.

New debates have surfaced. Some of these debates center on how aid is delivered. Which is more important: better monitoring of aid projects or reducing the transaction costs of lending? Which kinds of recipients make the best use of aid: governments, non-governmental organizations, companies, or individuals? What organizations give the most effective aid? And what form should aid take: grants, loans or something else?

The new focus on results adds spice to a third trend: the continuing emergence of competition in the aid industry. Competition forces organizations to demonstrate that they can produce results."
