Abstract

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of foreign aid on economic growth in Kenya. Methodology: The study used a descriptive research technique and a time series approach to track economic growth in Kenya for 41 years, from the year 1980 to 2020. The study also adopted a census survey to collect secondary data by use of a secondary time series data template from the World Bank and KNBS databases in Kenya for the period 1980 to 2020. The collected data was edited, coded and analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Findings: The results of the study revealed that ODA, emergency & food aid, debt forgiveness and technical cooperation had a positive and significant relationship with economic growth(GDP). In addition, ODA, emergency & food aid and debt forgiveness have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. However, technical cooperation had a negative and no significant impact on economic growth in Kenya Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that financial policymakers should come up with better strategies on the management of the foreign aid funds so as to ensure they are efficiently utilized. Financial policy makers should also consider foreign donors who can offer debt forgiveness aid since it will help Kenya in managing and reducing its debts.

2006-2020年外援对肯尼亚经济增长的影响

目的:本研究的目的是考察外援对肯尼亚经济增长的影响。研究方法:该研究采用了描述性研究技术和时间序列方法来跟踪肯尼亚从1980年到2020年的41年经济增长。该研究还采用了一项人口普查调查，利用世界银行和肯尼亚国家统计局数据库1980年至2020年期间的二次时间序列数据模板收集二次数据。收集的数据进行编辑，编码和分析使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)。研究结果表明，官方发展援助、紧急和粮食援助、债务减免和技术合作与经济增长(GDP)之间存在显著的正相关关系。此外，官方发展援助、紧急和粮食援助以及债务减免对经济增长具有积极和重大的影响。然而，技术合作对肯尼亚的经济增长没有显著的负面影响。理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:该研究建议金融决策者应该提出更好的对外援助资金管理策略，以确保这些资金得到有效利用。金融决策者也应该考虑提供债务减免援助的外国捐助者，因为这将帮助肯尼亚管理和减少债务。

期刊介绍： The European Journal of International Relations publishes peer-reviewed scholarly contributions across the full breadth of the field of International Relations, from cutting edge theoretical debates to topics of contemporary and historical interest to scholars and practitioners in the IR community. The journal eschews adherence to any particular school or approach, nor is it either predisposed or restricted to any particular methodology. Theoretically aware empirical analysis and conceptual innovation forms the core of the journal’s dissemination of International Relations scholarship throughout the global academic community. In keeping with its European roots, this includes a commitment to underlying philosophical and normative issues relevant to the field, as well as interaction with related disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. This theoretical and methodological openness aims to produce a European journal with global impact, fostering broad awareness and innovation in a dynamic discipline. Adherence to this broad mandate has underpinned the journal’s emergence as a major and independent worldwide voice across the sub-fields of International Relations scholarship. The Editors embrace and are committed to further developing this inheritance. Above all the journal aims to achieve a representative balance across the diversity of the field and to promote deeper understanding of the rapidly-changing world around us. This includes an active and on-going commitment to facilitating dialogue with the study of global politics in the social sciences and beyond, among others international history, international law, international and development economics, and political/economic geography. The EJIR warmly embraces genuinely interdisciplinary scholarship that actively engages with the broad debates taking place across the contemporary field of international relations.
