Even though donors have spent more than $1 000 per person over these 30 years, the average income of sub-Saharan Africans has increased by just $350. The continent has very little to show for this money, some of which has been consumed by the donors themselves, much of it by local governments and elites. There must be a better way to address the poverty pandemic. Expensive Poverty is focused on answering the trillion-dollar question: why have decades of spending had such a small impact on improving the lives of the poor? Whatever the area of aid expenditure - humanitarian, governance, military, development - the overall intention should be the same: to try to reach the point that aid is no longer necessary."--Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 394-413) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: the dilemmas of aid -- The state of aid -- The strategic imperative -- The advisory business -- Making peace -- Delivering military assistance -- Building economies amidst conflict -- Conditionality and ownership -- Dreams of a Marshall plan -- Addressing the infrastructure deficit -- Different models, more success? -- Conclusion: aid as a great disruptor -- Don't pay the oppressor. 650 0 $a International relief $z Africa. 650 0 $a Economic assistance $z Africa. 650 7 $a Economic assistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901592 650 7 $a International relief. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977110 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 700 0 $a H̲aÌylamaÌryaÌm DasaÌlanÌ, $d 1965- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56439830DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
