Aiding or Abetting? Dilemmas of foreign aid and political instability in Melanesia (IISD, 2005)
Aiding or Abetting? Dilemmas of foreign aid and political instability in Melanesia (IISD, 2005)

Between 1995 and 1999 average per capita aid to Melanesia was US$73, three times that to Sub-Saharan Africa and 35 times aid to India. Yet aid in Melanesia seems to be failing to achieve many of its goals.
