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.

The success of a development is not only seen from the level of economic growth but also from the level of community welfare as well as a benchmark for the success of the development of a region. The Human Development Index covers three indices, namely the education index, health index, and purchasing power index. In this study one of the indicators in improving the human development index is the health index. Judging from the growth rate of the Situbondo District human development index (HDI), the health index growth during 2012-2016 remained at 0.74 and the growth of the human development index (HDI) in Situbondo was still below the growth of the human development index (HDI) in East Java Province. The formulation of the problem taken in this study is how to synthesize strategies in improving the Human Development Index (HDI) in the health sector in Situbondo District. The analytical method used uses analytical hierarchy process.

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

This chapter explores the interactions between economic growth and human development, as measured by the Human Development Index, theoretically and empirically. Drawing on many studies it explores the links in two chains, from economic growth to human development, and from human development to growth. Econometric analysis establishes strong links between economic growth and human development, and intervening variables influencing the strength of the chains. Because of the complementary relationship, putting emphasis on economic growth alone is not a long-term viable strategy, as growth is likely to be impeded by failure on human development. The chapter classifies country performance in four ways: virtuous cycles where both growth and human development are successful; vicious cycles where both are weak; and lopsided ones where the economy is strong but human development is weak, or conversely ones where human development is strong but the economy is weak.

The study used samples from twenty provinces, which were selected using simple random sampling, divided into two groups; the first group comprised higher HDI provinces; the second group consisted of lower HDI provinces. To examine the model, the study applied path analysis method. The mean test was also applied to determine whether there were statistical average differences between the two groups. The results of this study show different responds between the higher HDI provinces and lower HDI provinces. The higher HDI provinces show that government expenditures on health and infrastructure have positive and significant impacts on human development index through economic growth indirectly; on the other hand, the lower HDI provinces show that only expenditure on education gives positive and significant impacts on human development index. Meanwhile, the economic growth shows positive and significant impacts on human development index in both higher HDI and lower HDI provinces.  Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1).Mengetahui pengaruh pengeluaran pemerintah pada sektor pendidikan, kesehatan dan infrastruktur terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan indeks pembangunan manusia (IPM) di Indonesia, (2).Mengetahui pengaruh pertumbuhan ekonomi terhadap IPM, dan (3).Mengetahui pengaruh pengeluaran pemerintah pada sektor pendidikan, kesehatan dan infrastruktur terhadap IPM, baik secara langsung maupun melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel dua puluh provinsi yang dipilih dengan teknik simple random sampling yang kemudian dibagi kedalam dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM tinggi dan kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM rendah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis jalur. Sebagai pendukung, juga dilakukan uji beda rata-rata untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya perbedaan rata-rata secara statistik terhadap dua kelompok tersebut. Hasil estimasi menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan respon diantara dua kelompok daerah tersebut. Pada kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM tinggi, terlihat bahwa pengeluaran kesehatan dan infrastruktur mempunyai pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap IPM melalui pertumbuhan ekonomi, sedangkan pada kelompok daerah dengan angka IPM rendah terlihat bahwa hanya pengeluaran pendidikan yang mempunyai pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap angka IPM. Adapun pertumbuhan ekonomi, terlihat menunjukkan pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap IPM.
