Comments on: The (Dead) Aid Debate: An Introduction http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/2010/02/the-dead-aid-debate-an-introduction/ from the Global Economic Governance Programme at the University of Oxford Thu, 17 Jun 2010 04:32:39 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Vikas Nath http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/2010/02/the-dead-aid-debate-an-introduction/comment-page-1/#comment-8391 Vikas Nath Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:11:21 +0000 http://www.globaleconomicgovernance.org/blog/?p=664#comment-8391 Thanks for taking up the aid issue on this fora. Until not long ago, outright criticism/rejection of "aid" was an unthinkable issue. Therefore it is energising to read the works of several African authors (Moyo and Tandon) on this issue. It would have been ideal to list Tandon's work too in the GEG recommended sources. While both the authors provide a critique of aid, the paths suggested for aid exit are markedly different. "Ending Aid Dependence" is published by the Fahamu books, which by itself is an African platform and gives voice to African intellectuals. The book is available from: http://fahamubooks.org/book/?GCOI=90638100770030 Thanks for taking up the aid issue on this fora.

I especially like the idea of broadening the range of voices that can be heard and published. I hope your blog will serve as a vehicle for that.
