Global: DFID's aid conditionality policy under fire

The UK's Department For International Development's new aid conditionality policy stresses that developing countries need to be equal partners in determining how aid is spent, and in setting specific goals on which aid disbursement will be conditional. A new report from Mokoro critiques the policy, arguing that the conditions are not being consistently applied or understood between countries, and lack clarity on the particular 'triggers' for aid disbursement or withdrawal.
