Paddling on One Side of the Canoe?

A new NZADDs working paper has been released!

Paddling on one side of the canoe?: The changing nature of New Zealand’s development assistance programme
by Glenn Banks, Warwick E Murray, John Overton and Regina Scheyvens.

This paper examines recent shifts in the operation of the New Zealand aid programme, setting them amongst the broader context of the changes to New Zealand aid that have taken place over the last 40 years. It offers both commentary and analysis on recent changes but also provides a history of our aid programme.
