The Impact

This study examines the impact of foreign aid instruments, namely Project Aid and Programme Aid, on economic growth of 27 aid-receiving countries. The study constructs a system of three equations, i.e. growth, investment and human capital. Using the Generalised Method of Moment estimation technique, the study concludes that while Project Aid has a positive and significant impact on economic growth, Programme Aid has an insignificant impact on economic growth. Additionally, the study finds that economic policies do enhance effectiveness of aid at aggregate level. Therefore, the capacity of aid-recipient countries to effectively use their resources for economic development needs due consideration.

Transparency And Accountability

This article seeks to find out challenges facing the procurement laws in Africa. The article examines the meaning and purpose of public procurement, drawing parallels between its essential elements, and stages with the need and requirement to enhance transparency and accountability to attain its objectives. It also seeks to provide analysis of traditional procurement reform objectives and identifies the importance of transparency and accountability as well as value for money in procurement to their achievement of joint goals. The article then examines broadly the access to information provisions of the procurement laws in a number of African countries namely -South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Tanzania and concludes that these laws contribute to improving access to information across Africa, particularly where an access to information law is absent, but are not robust enough to sufficiently provide comprehensive access to information. It examines the level of constraint posed by administrative charges for access to information. Also the article concludes based on the Tanzanian experience that limited access to information, laws already exist may be more as a result of; limited capacities in both the citizens sector and public sector to capture and maintain information in a retrievable format; deliberate delays by public officers to frustrate applications for access; poor information management practices and half hearted efforts within the citizens sector to apply existing law, than any application of administrative fee or other limiting provisions of the law, WITTING, W.A (2002).

Significance The September 1 blast at the Cape Canaveral launching site is a setback for Musk's goal of breaking open the market for government and private sector space launch contracts. SpaceX has attempted to demonstrate that it can compete with established launch companies, which are backed by US aerospace giants Lockheed Martin and Boeing. SpaceX's entrepreneurial methods have suggested significant disruption to the global launching business. Impacts Defence procurement reform would boost the US military's capacity to leverage private sector technological innovations. Efforts to reduce US dependence on Russian-manufactured rockets may lose steam if hawkish Senator John McCain is not re-elected. Washington's deployment of THAAD missile defence systems to South Korea will spur Beijing's efforts to develop anti-satellite capabilities.
