too-much-too-soon-the-dilemma-of-foreign-aid-to-myanmar-burma

A report exploring whether the outpouring of foreign aid to Myanmar expected in the medium term will benefit the country. The report begins with a brief discussion of the dilemma of foreign aid to Myanmar: how it can be harmful despite the best intentions of the donors. The authors then present the policy implications of our findings, for the Government of Myanmar and for the donor community. The next two parts of the report describe the Government of Myanmar’s national planning process and the steps it is taking to manage foreign aid. The authors then assess donor performance against the principles of the Paris Declaration and the Busan Partnership. The last two parts describe donor activity in general terms and then individually for Myanmar’s major development partners.
