8-minute video about corruption and aid in Tanzania In his book The World Bank and the Gods of Lending, author Steve Berkman finds nothing but mismanagement and hypocrisy: decades of assistance without any significant improvement in the lives of the poor; billions loaned for improving governance, health care and education with little to show for it; and donor funds given to dysfunctional government institutions or officials with a history of looting national treasuries. The above video features an interview with Steve Berkman. For a discussion on his findings, please see Global Development: Views from the Center blog.
