The Macroeconomics of Scaling Up Aid : The Gleneagles Initiative for Benin / Joannes Mongardini, Issouf Samake.

The analysis suggests that the additional aid inflows can be accommodated under Fund-supported programs without major disruptions to macroeconomic stability, provided the inflows are highly concessional and used effectively. There are, however, significant risks that the impact on growth and poverty reduction of the additional aid inflows could fall short of expectations, given Benin's limited absorptive and administrative capacity.
