"Economic Effects of different aid channels on dependency, absorptive capacity and poverty reduction in Tanzania"
by Kaliba, Aloyce


Abstract
A computable general equilibrium model of Tanzania was used to estimate potential impact of different aid delivery systems on aid dependency, aid absorptive capacity and poverty reduction. Alternative aid transfers were through government budget support to subsidize: production capital and intermediate inputs, domestic investment, domestic export price, and consumption of poor households. A major conclusion is that aid should have a multi-sectoral perspective in order to take advantages of inter-sectoral linkages and complementarities that exist within the economy. Aid concentration and uncoordinated efforts results in resource shifts; put more strains on resource managers, and limits aid absorptive capacity, which encourages aid dependency. Coordinated and targeted aid transfer may bring positive results in terms of economic growth and development and poverty reduction.
