Talk:Development aid

message: Just wondering why 'technial assistance' is pointing here. Is it just because a page hasn't been created for it yet? Otherwise, I would argue that it's not the same thing... though I don't have a definition of it myself (I was looking for one when I got here!) TA would just be one way to spend development aid.

message: Development aid is a general thing.  Economically powerful cities often have a variety of public and private forms of development aid available.  Development aid from rich regions to less wealthy nearby areas is also common.  International borders bring up some specific issues, but even more important are linguistic and cultural barriers.  -- M0llusk 03:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nothing foreign about development aid 

message: I would like to clarify one issue only.  Should Foreign aid and Development aid be merged?  I am trying to clear WP:BACK and I am more than comfortable to leave the rest of you to debate the article name after the merge is complete.  Remember, when we merge, all the previous names refer to the surviving article. Alan.ca 06:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think they are two distinct topics and we should have articles for both. Foreign aid refers to all "international aid" or "overseas aid," including military aid, while development aid mainly refers to aid focused on economic development. --Bkwillwm 02:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree. foreign aid also include humanitarian aid/relief. Bassemkhalifa (talk) 13:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merging 

message: In the article it is said that "The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Abhijit Banerjee and Ruimin He have undertaken a rigorous study[7] of the relatively few independent evaluations of aid program successes and failures. They suggest the following interventions are usually highly effective forms of aid in normal circumstances"
In fact, Source 7. "^ "Making aid work" (2003). Retrieved on 2008-02-21. " makes no such statement. They merely list a number of evaluations of projects and their stated effectiveness. The authors of this study emphasise that little is known of what systematically works. For example there are similar nutrion focused projects (Iron, Iodine and Vitamine A) which have had different effects, some being successful and some not being successful. Also, the authors state on the front page that their study is "Very preliminary" and that their study is not to be quoted without the authors' permission. Hence I question the validity and credibility of this part of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.25.241.11 (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I am planning on adding a Gender and Development Aid section, and adding a Gender and Development Aid new article. There has been a lot of research into this issue over the past couple of decades and some countries including the US . I've found ten scholarly articles which relate to this specific sector of gender development in my introductory research. The OECD also has a lot of information and data sources on the subject . I can link to additional articles if it is desired. Knaro (talk) 18:05, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

message: I added a new section to the article, with the heading "Effects of Foreign Aid on Developing countries". I also moved a section of the article titled "Effect on the Recipient Country's Development", to the new section I added since it was better suited for the new section.  I would be grateful if I could feedback on my addition and changes to the article. 
Thank you.

message: What is the difference between development aid (as described in this article) and foreign aid (as described in the article "aid")? The "aid" article says that developmental aid is a type of foreign aid, but there doesn't seem to be much if any difference between the two. Maybe these articles should be merged? I've written a similarly worded question on the other article's talk page. - 212.130.152.24 (talk) 04:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
