چکیده
A recent IMF publication (Gupta et al. 2006, p. 24) notes, helpfully, that not all aid is geared to promoting economic growth. Some forms of aid, such as for roads and electricity, have obvious direct links to growth. Other forms of aid, such as for education or health, might affect growth less directly and more over the long term. But a third form of aid, such as for humanitarian relief, might have little connection to growth. This latter case applies to HIV/AIDS: combating it is justified primarily on the basis of arresting a human development crisis.
