Aiding Development: Alleviating Poverty or Fostering Growth? Insights from UvA-IDS Lecture Series

Join us for Session 11 of the UvA-IDS Lecture Series, where we explore the complex motives behind international aid—are we alleviating poverty or fostering economic growth? This session highlights essential discussions on moral ambitions, sustainable development, and the interplay between self-interest and global public goods. Posters will be presented on December 6, and attendees are encouraged to engage with presenters and discuss vital topics, including demographic changes, climate impact, and the evolution of aid strategies.
