Abstract
This study provides an analysis of the French usage of multi-bi aid in comparison to other large donors of development assistance. Using a diverse set of methods, including document analysis, interview evidence, and state-of-the-art statistical methods, it seeks to identify general trends in the use of multi-bi aid, the underlying determinants of multi-bi aid and the relative importance of these determinants for bilateral, multilateral, and multi-bi aid for the average OECD/DAC donor. The study also examines the French-specific determinants of multi-bi aid and suggests some future avenues for the French multi-bi aid strategy.
