Bilateralizacja wielostronnej pomocy rozwojowej

Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of multilateral aid system which is undergoing substantial changes known as 'bilateralisation'. This phenomenon is understood as the growing influence of bilateral donors on development assistance provided by international organizations. The aim of the article is to examine changes taking place in the multilateral aid system, as well as to indicate the results that they may have on further functioning of the aid architecture. The paper underlines the problem of growing multi-bi resources as the main basis of financing of development assistance. For this reason, activities financed from this type of sources have started to be defined as multi-bi aid. The study was based on the analysis of the subject literature and statistical data from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS OECD). A comparative analysis method was applied for examining multilateral aid financed from multi-bi and core sources as well as for the exploration of the OECD DAC donors and those entities who are beyond.(original abstract)
