In particular, the fact that much of the provision of bilateral official development assistance (ODA) is driven by the political and economic objectives of donor countries leads to middle-income developing countries receiving an important share of the transfers. Moreover, the effectiveness of aid in stimulating growth and development has been the subject of a heated debate, analysed in chapter IV.
