The first purpose was to review “the state-of-the-art” as regards the existing knowledge about incentives and aid

The second purpose of the study was to identify areas, in regard to the relationship between aid, incentives, and sustainability

The third purpose of the study was to suggest an approach as to how to evaluate the relationship between aid, incentives, and sustainability

 

In addition to the three broad purposes of the study, we were also asked to complete several specific tasks:

To answer the following questions in regard to the literature on how aid, incentives, and sustainability may be related:

• What do we know about incentives and aid?

• What do we specifically know about how aid, incentives, and sustainability are related?

• What theoretical models and empirical methods have been employed in these analyses and what are the experiences?
