Abstract:Poverty reduction is a stated priority objective of many aid donors. The present paper discusses three techniques for measuring the amount of aid that is directly targeted toward meeting this objective: the project approach, the sectoral approach and the country approach, and compares the results obtained in each case. It finds that only about 15 percent of total aid is directly poverty-oriented.
