Former head of the Council for International Development, Pat Webster has written an NZADDs Commentary entitled ‘Paddling in Choppy Waters’. The commentary is a response to the NZADDs Working Paper, ‘Paddling on One Side of the Canoe?’
In the paper Pat argues that decisions about NZ aid policy are inherently political and that we need to engage in the politics to improve NZ aid policy. You can download and read the commentary here (pdf).
