Abstract
Donors of foreign aid operating outside the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) – the so-called “new donors” – are receiving increased attention in international relations. The recent literature has moved beyond the presentation of qualitative evidence to more rigorous analyses based on improved data collection. In this paper we investigate the lessons from this emerging literature. We discuss whether the allocation of aid from non-DAC donors is different from that of DAC donors and how non-DAC donors differ from one another. We also discuss how the presence of non-DAC donors might affect the effectiveness of aid. Overall, we argue that non-DAC aid is not necessarily inferior to DAC aid.
