This paper analyzes the targeting of NGO aid across a number of recipient countries. It considers major determinants of aid in a multivariate regression framework and applies several econometric models. The authors show that NGOs are more active in the neediest countries, but that it does not complement official aid through engaging in "difficult institutional environments." They conclude that NGOs keep a low profile rather than distinguishing themselves from other donors.
