Abstract

The late 1990s and early 2000s saw a shift in the conceptual framework of development financing, particularly in relation to financing for low-income countries. The complexities of these new conceptual approaches necessitated the development of new financing modalities to give operational content to the policy framework of donor countries and multilateral institutions. This paper examines the changing modalities of development financing in the context of essential service provision in low-income countries and considers how the delivery of basic services in these countries will be affected by the shifts in development aid policy and implementation. This paper argues that the modalities for development financing - insofar as they affect the delivery of public services – contradict the rhetorical conceptual underpinnings of this ‘new architecture of aid’ that is meant to be premised upon the principle of local ownership, participatory politics and the reduction of poverty.
