Problem
Reallocation of aid funds to alternative priorities
Other Names:
Regional transfers of development capitalUnbridled competition for aid funding
Fashionable aid
Nature:
Development aid funds, originally scheduled for developing countries, may be diverted to alternative priorities such as the emerging democracies of eastern Europe.
Incidence:
In 1991, many civil rights cases in South Africa were not able to have legal representation because of cuts in traditional sources of funding, largely attributed to competition with eastern European causes. Human rights laws firms faced a financial crisis as a result, and lawyers were frequently before their cases come to trial through lack of payment of fees.
