Foreign aid, be it humanitarian, peacebuilding or development support, frequently brings with it a range of unintended consequences.

In his new book, ‘Foreign Aid and its Unintended Consequences’ Prof. Dirk-Jan Koch brings together his teams’ research and his personal experiences with the side effects of foreign aid. The book, which is aimed at development practitioners, policymakers and students, explores the ten most prevalent kinds of unintended consequences of foreign aid.

On 11 January 2024, in the first of a series of EPLO Book Conversations, Prof. Dirk-Jan Koch will join us to discuss his book’s findings. The presentation will be accompanied by an interactive discussion.

Please note that this will be an in-person meeting and registration is mandatory.
