Aid

In our work on aid and other forms of development finance, we explore the ways in which the governance of development finance can improve development outcomes.

Our research focuses on three issues:

  1. Analysis of organisations that comprise the global aid system, with a view to improving global aid governance, particularly from the perspective of recipient governments
  2. The politics of donor-recipient interaction
  3. The growing role of corporate actors in development finance, including philanthropic organisations and impact investors
