In this paper, we focus on foreign aid-effectiveness in developing aid-recipient countries. By disaggregating total aid into sub-categories, we develop a model in which aid affects the welfare of the poor, as measured by a human development index. Our estimates (robust for different specifications) show that an increase in aid to the agricultural sector, one of our aid sub-categories, can improve the welfare of the poor, both directly and indirectly, through pro-poor public expenditure. Accordingly, more attention to the agricultural sector and reversing the decline in agricultural aid may improve the overall effectiveness of aid and achieve a sustainable transition out of poverty by increasing aggregate welfare.

Foreign aid has been contributory towards fostering broad-based development and complementing national development initiatives in the recipient countries. This paper analyses the question of aid effectiveness towards the achievement of goals in the special context of a set of social outcomes in Pakistan. More specifically, the paper focuses the core question that ‘how’ and ‘how far’ foreign aid has affected the ‘health’, ‘education’, and overall ‘human development index’ in Pakistan. Our result shows that there is feedback Granger causality between GI and ODA. That is, Economic growth induces ODA and ODA Granger cause economic growth. As far as Education index, Human development index and life expectancy index concerned, there are only unidirectional Granger causality from ODA to Education index, Human development index and life expectancy index. This is consistent with other literature that ODA contribute to human development. JEL classification: O15, P45 Keywords: Effectiveness, Human Development, Foreign Aids, Granger Causality

Poverty is a problem faced by all countries in the world, especially the developing countries, such as Indonesia. Poverty is a complex issue that is affected by a variety of interrelated factors, such as people's income levels, unemployment, health, education, access to goods and services, geographic location, gender, and location the environment. The number of poor population in Central Java is relatively lebihtinggi compared to laindi province of Indonesia, that is occupying ranked second in the number of poor population the largest in Indonesia after East Java. This research aims to analyze how and how much the variable influences the human development index, GDP per capita, and the number of poor population against unemployment in Jambi province in the year 2016. Methods of analysis in this study using multiple linear regression analysis with the method of Ordinary Least Square (OLS) that use data between spaces (cross section) district/town in Jambi province year 2016 with the help of software Eviews 4.1.

The Poor

One indicator of the success of development programs undertaken is the declining percentage of the poor, defined as the ratio of the number of people classified as poor to the total population. For Bali province, despite its economic growth is higher than national rate; 6.03 percent and 6.24 percent compared to 4.88 percent and 5.02 percent in 2015 and 2016, respectively; the poor are still observed in this province by 4.15 percent of its 4.2 million population in September 2016. In order to make development programs in Bali more effective to decrease the number of poor people, significant determinants of poor have to be recognised. The purpose of this work is to model and to determine the significant factor(s) that affect the percentage of poor in Bali province by applying panel data analysis. Percentage of poor for period 2007 to 2015 is positioned as the dependent variable while economic growth, unemployment rate, labor force participation rates, total population, and human development index as the independent ones. We found the best model to describe the causal relationship among variables is fixed effect model and two predictors, the economic growth rate and human development index, were significant in affecting the number of poor in Bali province.

Foreign aid when properly utilized is expected to grow the economy of the receiving nation. Over the years Nigeria has benefitted from foreign aid inflows in a bid to stabilize its economy and build its infrastructure. This study desires to look into how the various foreign aid components (humanitarian aids, project aids and programme aids) have impacted the Nigerian economic growth rate and human development index giving the prevailing corruption index in the country as a moderating variable. Ex-post facto research design was adopted and data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin from 1990 to 2019. The study adopted autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) techniques. It was revealed that as a result of the corruption perception index, there was a significant negative effect of foreign aid on the growth rate of Nigeria economy in the long run, while having a significant positive impact on human development index as well. In short run, foreign aids had a significant positive effect on the growth rate of the Nigerian economy, but an insignificant negative effect on human development index. However, government is encouraged to ensure that foreign aid is effectively channeled into agriculture, health, education and other productive areas.

Poor Population

Human Development Index is used to measure how much impact arises from efforts to increase the ability of basic human capital. Human Development is a component of development through empowerment of the population that focuses on increasing the human base, judging from the population of Batang Hari Regency which is fluctuating and has the potential for human resources ready to be empowered. The implementation of regional autonomy gives flexibility to the Regional Government of Batang Hari Regency to carry out regional development more independently. Besides that what needs to be considered is the growth of the poor population, in Batanghari District the development of the poor population has also fluctuated, where in 2019 there was a decrease of 26.53% from the previous year. To measure poverty, BPS uses the concept of ability to meet basic needs approach. This is done in Batang Hari Regency, using data from 2011 - 2019. The type of data used in this study is Time Series data, which is the type of data consisting of variables collected according to the order of time within a certain timeframe, while the analytical methods used in This research is a quantitative method. Quantitative analysis is used to determine the Effect of Poverty Rate and Population Number on the human development index (HDI) in Batang Hari District 2011-2019. To analyze the influence of data analysis, this is done by using multiple linear regression models using Eviews program version 9.0. poverty level and Population simultaneously or together have a very significant effect on the Human Development Index in Batang Hari District 2011-2019. In this study the R2 value is 0.975311 which means a set of dependent variables (Poverty Rate and Population Number) in the model can explain the Independent variable by 97.53%. While the rest is explained by other variables outside the model that are not examined. Human Development Index (HDI) of Batang Hari 2011-2019 is 32.58 assuming other variables (Poverty Rate and Population Growth Rate are fixed or 0) From the equation it is known that poverty variable shows a coefficient of 0.03 meaning that if there is an increase in poverty level of 1 unit it will increase the HDI by 0.03% with the assumption that the Population Variable is 0. Whereas for the Total Population from the data processing, the result is 0.00013, meaning that every 1 person increase will increase the Human Development Index (HDI) by 0.00013%.

Change Mitigation

This paper examines the role of public expenditure in enhancing climate change adaptation and mitigation in Nigeria. It examines the trend of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Nigeria alongside those of South Africa and Sub Saharan Africa and investigates the statistical relationship between public expenditure and climate change in Nigeria. The paper hinges on the Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional framework of the Oversee Development Institute (ODI), which argues that climate change, has fiscal implications and can be addressed using national plans and annual budgets. Time series data were then collected for emission, public expenditure, human development index and economic growth from the World Bank and the Central Bank of Nigeria for 1970-2008, while trend analysis and lag regression model were used for data analysis. It was found that public expenditure towards economic services could be used to enhance Nigeria’s climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Though economic growth and human development index were found to be positively related to emission, results imply that economic growth in Nigeria is not pursued in a sustainable manner that accounts for the future generation. The paper recommends that economic growth that is driven by investment in renewable energy, developing human capacity to adapt to climate change and coordinating public expenditure to economic and community services to develop rural communities and vulnerable sectors like agriculture, would be useful for addressing climate change in Nigeria and ensuring sustainable development. A lesson Nigeria can learn from climate change mitigation and adaptation measures in South Africa is to identify and prioritize short term and medium term adaptation interventions to be addressed in sector plans such as water, agriculture and forestry, health, biodiversity and human settlements.

The Relationship

The authors explore an alternative way of analyzing the relationship between human development and individualism. The method is based on the first principal component of Hofstede's individualism index in the Human Development Index rating domain. Results suggest that the general idea that greater wealth brings more individualism is only true for countries with high levels of development, while for middle or low levels of development the inverse is true.

Human development is a development paradigm that puts human (population) as the focus and final target of all development activities, namely the achievement of control over resources (income to achieve decent living), improvement of health status (long life and healthy life) and improve education. To see the success rate of human development, UNDP publishes an indicator of Human Development Index (HDI). This study discusses the achievements of human development that have been pursued by the government. The problem analyzed in this research is the difference of human development achievement in some provincial government in Indonesia. This paper aims to compare the achievements of human development in some provincial governments seen from the achievement of human development index of each province.

Gender Inequality Index is a major indicator presenting level of development of the countries as Human Development Index, which is calculated regularly every year by UN. In this study, an alternative calculation has been proposed for measuring gender inequality index which is an important barrier for the human development. Each indicator in the index integrated as MAUT- AHP and also AHP-TOPSIS and these methods carried out again for the alternative ranking member and candidate countries of the European Union. The main objective here is to represent that the indicators form gender inequality index can be reclassified with different weights for each indicator.
