摘要：To achieve right incentives and obtain essential information in aid financing and allocation, this paper proposes an innovative method of aid means testing (AMT) to target official development assistance at the recipient who needs most help and the donor who delivers efficient aid. AMT is working in a manner of public-private partnership that binds the performance and evaluation together with actors operating in the market to achieve marginal successes. How AMT is feasible, and the prerequisites, limitation and challenges of AMT are also discussed to justify its role in current aid architecture. This paper points out a workable method which provides an explicit calculation and rationale to encourage donors and recipients to invest rather than consume so that aid allocation can be equitable, predictable, effective and sustainable in aid business.
