Spatial pattern of aid allocation in the early 21st century: Evidence from 38 sub-Saharan African countries
This study analyzes the geographical patterns of aid in 38 sub-Saharan African countries from 2001 to 2020, focusing on the extent of spatial exclusion in aid allocation at the regional level. By incorporating the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) with aid expenditure data, we reveal that more impoverished regions, as defined by higher MPI scores, receive less aid compared to regions with high urbanicity. This pattern of exclusion shows significant spatial clusters within adjacent regions within and across countries and has persisted over the years. The allocation of sector-specific aid also exhibits a mistargeting issue. These findings emphasize the need to formulate aid strategies to promote spatial inclusivity in African countries.
期刊介绍:
Regional Science is the official journal of the Regional Science Association International. It encourages high quality scholarship on a broad range of topics in the field of regional science. These topics include, but are not limited to, behavioral modeling of location, transportation, and migration decisions, land use and urban development, interindustry analysis, environmental and ecological analysis, resource management, urban and regional policy analysis, geographical information systems, and spatial statistics. The journal publishes papers that make a new contribution to the theory, methods and models related to urban and regional (or spatial) matters.
