It combines theoretical and practical contributions to propose new ways of thinking about the evaluation of the impact of aid, from its conceptualization to its implementation. It convincingly argues for the centrality of impact assessment in development programmes and it proposes reforms to ensure that such assessment truly contributes to making foreign aid an effective tool to improve lives in developing countries. The messages in the book should provide relevant food for thought for aid practioners, policy-makers, and academics alike.\"  \u003cb\u003e--Massimiliano Calì, World Bank\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssessing the Impact of Foreign Aid: Value for Money and Aid for Trade\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eprovides 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. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eContributors 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. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith twin foci of economics and policy this book raises the potential for making sophisticated and coherent decisions on aid allocation to developing countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eOfficial Development Assistance and Impact Assessment – Theoretical and Practical Frameworks. \u003ci\u003eViktor Jakupec \u0026amp; Max Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConceptualising Impact Assessment in Foreign Aid. \u003ci\u003eMax Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEconomic Development Paradigms and the Persistence of the Neoliberal Agenda. \u003ci\u003eJohn McKay\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAid for Trade: A Critical Analysis. \u003ci\u003eViktor Jakupec\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Rhetoric and Reality of Results and Impact Assessment in Donor Agencies: a Practitioners’ Perspective. \u003ci\u003eSimon Milligan, Steve Bertram, \u0026amp; Alwyn Chilver\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeyond Aid Distribution: Aid effectiveness, Neoliberal and Neostructural Reforms in Pacific Island Countries. \u003ci\u003eAlec Thornton \u0026amp; Amerita Ravuvu\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpact assessment in Social Sector Development: Regulatory Impact Assessment. \u003ci\u003eViktor Jakupec \u0026amp; Max Kelly\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan We Assess the Overall Impact of Development Agencies?
