| Are Poor Countries Really Developing ? |
News 2 of 7
Where : IDRC Auditorium, 14th Floor - 250 Albert Street, Ottawa, Canada
“We need a revolution in development thinking and practice,” says William Easterly. “Foreign aid, debt relief, family planning, democracy, education, and free markets have not succeeded.” Dr Easterly, a former senior adviser with the World Bank, will talk about the various types of development interventions donors use and their disappointing results. He will provide some explanations as to why growth in developing countries has not met expectations. Dr Easterly will also suggest what donors can do to improve and ensure the effectiveness of aid to developing countries. William Easterly is currently Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development and the Institute for International Economics. Prior to joining the Center, Dr Easterly spent sixteen years as a research economist at the World Bank. His areas of expertise are the determinants of long-run economic growth and the effectiveness of development assistance efforts. He has worked extensively in the developing world. Everyone interested is welcome to attend, however seats are limited. RSVP strongly recommended.
