June 16, 2006—June 17, 2006. Call for Papers. WIDER Conference on Aid: Principles, Policies and Performance, Helsinki, Finland, 16-17 June 2006

Aid is one of the most challenging development issues facing the international Community. There is now a pressing need to evaluate performance to date, and the Future for aid in light of recent events such as the post-Monterrey consensus to substantially increase aid to meet the Millennium Development Goals, recent initiatives from donors, and an ongoing focus on Africa. The conference aims to bring together policymakers and academics from both the donor and recipient communities to review the progress achieved so far, identify the challenges ahead, and discuss the emerging new policy agenda in development aid. The conference is intended for policymakers and for researchers from the academic, government, and development communities.
