Since its emergence as part of the post-World War II recovery effort, official development assistance (ODA) has changed repeatedly in how it is delivered, the countries that it targets, and the issues that it prioritizes. Its focus has been affected by political imperatives, by technological progress, and by shifting global priorities, with purposes ranging from promoting economic growth to meeting basic needs, and from institution building to humanitarian assistance. This “checkered history of constant adaptation” is partly a reflection of the complex and interconnected conditions needed to foster economic development (Kharas 2014a). The task of allocating scarce resources among competing goals, whether influenced by intellectual fads, political preferences or global events, has always been a difficult one.
