PowerPoint Presentation Economic Growth and development in Southeast Asia

Net Official Development Assistance (ODA) (USD millions, 2012 – WDI)

ODA donor-country estimates (previous slide) also includes multilateral aid

• Countries provide bilateral (direct) ODA as well as (indirect) aid through multilateral institutions
• Major institutions include
• World Bank, IMF, MIGA and IFC
• UN organizations
• European Union (EU) institutions, including the EC
• Regional banks e.g. AfDB, ABD, IADB
• Different rationales for multilateral aid, but generally
• Less tied to national interests, politics (no longer accept tied aid)
• “whole-sale” provision, lower overhead costs.
• Global harmonization of aid, shared global objectives
