Assessing the Impact of Foreign Aid: Value for Money and Aid for Tradeprovides updated information on how to improve foreign aid programs, exploring the concept and practice of impact assessment within the sometimes-unproblematic approaches advocated in current literature of value for money and aid for trade.
