3. The
Foreign
Aid
Debate
Jeffrey Sachs
William Easterly and
Dambisa Moyo
Abhijit V. Banerjee and
Esther Duflo
• Poverty could have been
eliminated if more money
had been commi4ed
• We know what poor people
need and they should be
en;ced to do what we feel
is best
• Aid does more harm than
good, and countries
receiving aid have not
grown faster than others
• Aid corrupts governments
and prevents people from
searching for their own
solu;ons
• It’s less about how much
aid is given but more about
where the money is
directed
• Significant progress can be
made through the
accumula;on of a set of
small well-­‐tested and
carefully thought-­‐out steps.

16. Lessons
ì The strength of African philanthropy is in
the communal effort
ì African philanthropists understand their
needs beier than foreigners do
ì Credible Ins;tu;ons play a pivotal role in
the success or failure of African
philanthropy
ì Limited Documenta;on and Impact
Assessment
ì Ver;cal Philanthropy keeps the social
structure of inequality in place, unlike
horizontal philanthropy
ì Mo;ves behind philanthropic giving are
similar
