The problem addressed in this thesis is the role of external development aid in the growth process with special reference to Sudan's experience of growth and development with foreign aid resources over the past two decades (1960-1980). The study is taken in the light of the basic ideas on which foreign aid theories have been conceived and in view of the critics of aid argument. Chapter 1 presents the aim of the study, the method of approach and the outline of the study. In Chapters 2 and 3 we present a review of the basic approa to the theory of foreign aid in economic growth, and examine the criticisms regarding the validity of their assumptions and operation-11. al usefulness as well as the modifications introduced to them. In Chapters 4 and 5 we highlight the salient features of the structure of the Sudanese economy and analyze the development performance and constraints over the past two decades in the light of the growth constraints identified by aid growth models. Chapter 6 consists of an account of the general characteristics of the flow of external development aid received by the Sudan during the period of study. Chapters 7and 8 deal explicitly with the impact of foreign resources on domestic savings, investment and growth with reference to Sudan's experience over the past two decades. Chapter 9 considers the problems that hindered the effective use of foreign aid resources in the Sudan during the period of study and highlights the main areas in which reform measures are needed. In Chapter 10 an estimate of the savings gap and the foreign exchange gap for the Sudan for the forthcoming Six Year Plan 1983/84-1988/89 is provided on the basis of the two gap approach.

Three studies on foreign aid, rent-seeking, and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa are presented. The first study examines the possible simultaneity that may exist between a donor’s provision of aid and the rentseeking (corruption) activities in the recipient country. Does the amount of aid depend on the lack of corruption in a country? Simultaneously, does the level of corruption depend on the amount of aid and the type of donor? The main goals of this paper are to examine whether such simultaneity exists and whether the impact of aid depends on the type of the donor, either multilateral or bilateral. The second study extends the first model by incorporating an additional equation for GDP per capita. It examines whether simultaneity exists between the three variables: foreign aid, corruption, and GDP per capita and whether the relationship depends upon the source of the foreign aid. Adding GDP per capita as an endogenous variable will provide another key to understanding the lack of long-term effectiveness for foreign aid in sub-Saharan Africa. The third and final study uses a fixed effects model to examine the relationship between foreign aid and the level of corruption in sub-Saharan Africa. Accounting for fixed effects allows me to examine whether unobserved characteristics of recipient countries play a role in explaining the impact of aid on corruption.
