Impact of foreign aid on rwanda's socio-economic development as guided by Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1 “Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger”:case of Gasabo District

4.2.3 Documentary Analysis Procedures

As observed by Lincoln and Guba (1985) that qualitative evidence is quite critical, it follows that, in this current study a number of official documents were scrutinized and a particular focus was placed on the milestones registered so far. This constituted the bulk evidence of desk research.

At the country level development partners are, as a collective, increasingly providing funds through budget support mechanisms as illustrates by the figure below:

Figure 4.12 Composition of External resources

In 2006, total Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Rwanda reached $603 million, equivalent to roughly 27 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), with a very substantial share provided by multilaterals and global programmes (MINECOFIN, 2007). In 2006, 26 per cent of external grants took the form of budget support, increasing to about 30 per cent in 2007 as new partners joined Rwanda?s Budget Support Harmonisation Group (BSHG).
