New working paper released from Publish What You Fund

Here at aidinfo we're excited by Publish What You Fund's release of its first working paper with the Overseas Development Institute; Practical Approaches to the Aid Effectiveness Agenda, written by Samuel Moon with Zachary Mills.

It accompanies an earlier Briefing Paper, Greater Aid Transparency: crucial for aid effectiveness, and explores the link between donor aid and recipient budgets, and the role that greater aid transparency can play in improving budget transparency, the quality of budgetary decisions and accountability systems in developing countries.

This paper makes a contribution towards linking classifications of aid and public expenditure, and also makes recommendations on how to facilitate the transfer of information about aid from donor to recipient governments, particularly aid that is not spent through recipient country budget systems.
