Indicateurs de sélectivité de l'aide

Indicators of aid selectivity proposed by Sylviane Guillaumont-Jeanneney and Gwénolé Le Velly measure donor aid allocation based on recipient country characteristics beyond economic policy quality. The dataset provides average profiles of aid recipients for each donor across four criteria: governance, poverty, structural vulnerability, and human capital weakness. The 2011 update makes these indicators available for the period 2003-2009.

Use Cases

• Evaluating donor aid allocation preferences based on governance scores.
• Analyzing correlations between aid flows and recipient country poverty levels.
• Comparing donor selectivity profiles across structural vulnerability and human capital criteria.
• Tracking changes in aid selectivity over the 2003-2009 period for policy assessment.

Strengths

• Provides a multi-criteria framework for aid selectivity beyond economic policy.
• Covers a seven-year time range from 2003 to 2009.
• Is available on multiple platforms (figshare, dataverse), indicating established use.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row counts are not provided in any source, limiting detailed understanding of structure.
• The dataset's last update metadata is from 2026, but the data content is from a 2011 update, suggesting the underlying data may not be current.
• License information is inconsistent (GPL 2.0+ on figshare, null on dataverse).
