DESCRIPTION:Every year\, low- and middle-income countries receive $30 billi
 on in loans and other aid from multilateral agencies. Such aid traditional
 ly comes with strict conditions\, the effectiveness of which has been wide
 ly debated for the past few decades. Do conditions promote accountability 
 and development impacts? At what cost to the recipient country’s institu
 tions or political independence? \n\nThe debate on conditionality has been
  reignited by the recent surge in loans from new sources\, including China
 \, that impose few to no conditions on recipient countries. Join us and ou
 r speaker Edward Miguel\, Oxfam Professor of Environmental and Resource Ec
 onomics at the University of California\, Berkeley to discuss current tens
 ions\, building on the example of a large-scale\, foreign-aid funded elect
 rification program in Kenya.\n\nSchedule: \n4:00 PM - 4:30 PM: Registratio
