" Doing well out of our doing good" : A geography of New Zealand aid

As the authors see it, aid is a political tool. It has many forms. Aid includes both government and non-government agencies as donors. New Zealand is a small donor by world standards. The authors analyse changes in New Zealand's Official Development Assistance (ODA) Programme over the past 30 years. They show that there have been significant changes in the regional distribution of aid so that, whilst the Pacific Islands have remained the main beneficiaries of New Zealand aid, development assistance for other regions has been variable.
