I have written a few times about the problems and the (in)effectiveness of development aid. An interesting study the World Bank's Private Sector Development Blog pointed me to an interesting new study by on the subject. The study looks at the impact of aid from oil-rich muslim countries to poorer majority muslim countries. The results are interesting because they isolate the effect of aid from the selectiveness of Western donors: the tendency to support only the poorest or the tendency to support countries that are already growing fast. The conclusion is: The petro-aid was largely consumed, nearly all in imports. It did not lead to a measurable increase in growth, prices, or an appreciation of the exchange rate. Imported goods during the aid surge shifted away from capital goods and towards non-capital goods, and aid crowded out domestic savings. A significant share of the aid fled the country in unaccounted transactions. The study was done by E. Werker et al. is available here.

We ve heard Lacey talk about FLYLEAF s trip to Africa earlier this year, and now here is the video report:

Over 100 Conservatives, including MPs, councillors and Prospective Parliamentary Candidates, have just returned from Rwanda after spending two weeks working on Project Umubano.Umubano translates as Friendship and Co-operation , and the aim of our Social Action project was to work alongside Rwandans to help tackle poverty and promote development.

As an addendum to my previous post on the demolition of Poor Kiyovu, I should add that the Kigali City Council's remodelling of the central residential district, Kiyovu, also extends to small shop owners in the richer part of the quarter. Kiosks all over Kigali are a huge employment generator, a place for late-night shopping and also serve as informal bars. The New Times writes in its article, "Demolished kiosk owners drag KCC to court": [One kiosk owner ] said that he bought the kiosk through KCC [Kigali City Council] during the reign of Theoneste Mutsindashyaka. He quoted ... the contract he has with city authorities which states that the kiosks should not be interfered with before a period of five years. Needless to say the five year period has not yet elapsed. [The shop owner] says that he recently received a letter from city authorities informing him that he had been relocated to an area which is far from the city. The closing statement of the article is a disturbing insight into the mind of Kigali administrators. More evictions, more demolitions, until Kigali is the squeaky-clean showcase that the government wants it to be : [The city council inspector] said the council is currently developing detailed plans to reduce slums in various areas in the city and that the new plan is designed to make the city a major commercial and service centre in the East African community, as well as making it environmentally friendly. ... and Kigali will be SO pretty! As a small extra, here is a short clip I made of Poor Kiyovu 4 weeks ago:

The Association for Youth Literacy and Trades Education (ASOLATE) is making real and lasting progress in improving the lives of the youth of Rwanda by providing education in employable skills. The aftermath of the 100 days of genocide in 1994 in which over 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were brutally murdered has left 810,000 children orphaned and more than 100,000 households run by children according to UNICEF estimates. ASOLATE is making a difference by training former Rwandan child soldiers in: (1) soldering and electrical work, (2) soap, candle, and paint-making, (3) sewing, and (4) project management; skill that will get them employed and able to support themselves and their siblings .
