To meet development objectives, aid recipients and their donor partners need to effectively manage the macro-economic effects of aid. Aid can improve the economy's supply-side and raise growth. But if the macroeconomic impact of aid is not managed well, it can distort and undermine growth. This event will clarify aid's macroeconomic effects. This knowledge will contribute to improving aid's growth impact and help with the scaling up of aid itself.

UNU-WIDER gratefully acknowledges the financial contributions towards the ‘Foreign Aid: Research and Communications (ReCom)’ programme by the governments of Denmark (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and Sweden (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) and the continued support of UNU-WIDER’s research programme by the governments of Finland (Ministry for Foreign Affairs), and the United Kingdom (Department for International Development).
