Center for Global Development: Is the Donor Agenda for the SDGs Making Aid a Tool of Inequity?
Pamela Jakiela, senior fellow, and Charles Kenny, director of technology and development and senior fellow, both at CGD, discuss financing for the Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on mobilizing domestic resources. The authors highlight the roles of lower-middle-income country (LMIC) governments, donor governments, and development finance institutions with regard to responsibly implementing tax laws, ensuring accountability, and focusing “on the greatest public policy or poverty-reducing priorities of poor countries” (11/13).
