HOW WOULD YOU REINVENT FOREIGN AID?

GDN Next Horizons Essay Contest 2014

in partnership with the

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

on

The Future of Development Assistance

The world has changed radically since the emergence of official development assistance. How should aid change? We want to hear your views: Which financial instruments should be used to provide aid? How should the donor “aid system” be organized? Should aid be given only to the poorest countries? How could aid improve governance? How should recipient countries allocate aid in the context of other sources of financing? What does a data and technology driven transformation in the development project “marketplace” look like?

Up to 20 winning entries chosen by an international jury will receive 20,000 USD each.

Select winning ideas may be promoted by the Global Development Network (GDN) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Last Date: 15 September 2014.

Submissions can be sent in English, French or Spanish.
