| Description |
Foreign aid for agrarian reform funding—for example, Canadian aid—has claimed to address rural poverty, agricultural stagnation, and food security. This paper examines agrarian-related overseas development assistance (ODA) to the Philippines to reveal that such aid has had its ebb and flow—one that follows the internal policies and priorities of development agencies, and the development policies, strategies, and sociopolitical and economic context of its borrowing member countries. Such type of ODA is also contingent on other factors such as global socioeconomic and political environment; global trends in development financing; and pressures from powerful countries, domestic elites, social movements and civil society, or specific political conjuncture. As a result, short-time considerations override a long-term approach that would address rural poverty and land inequality.
