What determines the choice of aid modalities? (pdf 750kb)

The paper is part of a wider project theme by the Swedish Agency for Development Evaluation on: Aid modalities - relative effectiveness and complementarities.

This is the first of a series of studies focusing on the composition of aid modalities. It discusses the conceptual and contextual background regarding aid modalities and incentives.It then proposes a framework for assessing incentive structures relevant for decisions on aid modalities.  The paper also provides guidance on the general application of the framework at systemic and organisational levels.

The paper is intended to form the basis for later country case studies and initiate discussion about implicit and explicit factors influencing aid modality patterns.
