By Terence Wood

August 2019

This is a submission to the review of New Zealand’s policy on aid and sustainable development. The submission starts with a brief overview of foreign aid, and whether aid is effective at promoting development. The submission then details the key factors that contribute to effective aid. This leads to the main section on maximising the effectiveness of New Zealand aid in the Pacific. The final section addresses the issue of transparency and accountability. The submission is accompanied by a supplementary submission containing data on New Zealand aid flows to the Pacific.
