abstract = {In a report presented at the UN Conference on Financing for Development in
March 2002, the World Bank claims that the effectiveness of its financial aid has
improved substantially by targeting aid at poor developing countries pursuing
sound economic policies. This paper argues that the World Bank's success story
rests on a weak empirical foundation. The evidence does not support the view
that poverty concerns and policy assessments dominated the distribution of
World Bank financing in the 1990s. We conclude that the task of improving the
allocation of aid is far from being accomplished. Finally, we discuss some
implications of our findings for the future role of the World Bank in
development financing.},
