Social assistance in developing countries is substantially funded and supported by international organizations and donors which have the power to influence the design and implementation of social policies. On the one hand, international financial institutions (IFIs) may have their own preferences for which types of programs to implement and which groups of the poor population to support. On the other hand, they may favor certain elements of the design, such as a targeting method or conditionalities because of interests which include not only short-term emergency aid but also long-term sustainable development and human capital accumulation. Using the recent data sets on non-contributory social transfer programs, we examine the types and designs of social programs promoted by international donors. We discuss to what extent such results may be strategic and depend upon donor policy priorities.
