330 .. $a The new world of results-driven aid that could put an end to extreme poverty Drawing
on 2 decades covering global development as editor in chief of Devex, Raj Kumar explores
how nontraditional models of philanthropy and aid are empowering the world's poorest
people to make progress. Old aid was driven by good intentions and relied on big-budget
projects from a few government aid agencies, like the World Bank and USAID. Today,
corporations, Silicon Valley start-ups, and billionaire philanthropists are a disrupting
force pushing global aid to be data driven and results oriented.
