- Abstract
- Recent literature on international development aid has emphasized the role of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) in determining who receives international development assistance. However, few analyses have investigated the specific sectors of international aid and the influence of INGOs by INGO type. Using panel data from 94 countries from 1996 to 2015, this study tests the effects of general INGOs, women's international non-governmental organizations (WINGOs), and health international non-governmental organizations (HINGOs) on the flows of aid for women's reproductive health, family planning, and sexually transmitted diseases (STD) control/HIV/AIDS. The results show that general INGOs, WINGOs, and HINGOs are an important source of women's health aid. However, the effects of these organizations are conditioned by recipients' levels of political and economic development. These findings provide supporting evidence for the idea that INGO ties are important in women's health aid, but also suggest that the size and significance of INGO effects should be considered cautiously.
