' General budget support in Africa: '
by Göran Hydén
Summary:
The past ten years has seen a growing readiness by international donors to
disburse aid through official institutions in partner countries, with General
Budget Support (GBS) as the preferred mechanism.
This deal between donors and recipients has been heralded as a win-win
situation. Recipient governments in Africa make political gains and donor
governments reap administrative benefits.
In reality, however, GBS has caused as many problems as it has solved. It has
become politicized to the point that many African governments now have second
thoughts about the mechanism.
Their frustration is often exacerbated by the donors acting as one, sometimes
under EU auspices, at other times as GBS providers. Rwanda and Tanzania are two
current cases in point.
