This article examines the role different aid allocation models play not only for conventional development aid but also for two new financial flows, adaptation and mitigation aid. We first test the three models proposed in the literature – recipient need, recipient merit, and donor interests – using the latest available aid data and compare our results with findings of older studies on Africa, and with studies on aid allocation on a global scale. We find that the recipient merit model in more recent years no longer plays a role for development aid allocation in Africa, in line with findings reported globally. In contrast to such global studies, the logic of the donor interest model does not seem to dominate over the recipient need model in the African context, as both are of equal importance for aid allocation decisions. Finally, additionality seems to play a lesser role in Africa than globally.

对非洲的发展和气候援助：比较不同援助流量的援助分配模型

本文研究了不同的援助分配模型不仅对传统的发展援助，而且对两种新的资金流——适应援助和减缓援助——所起的作用。我们首先使用最新的可用援助数据测试文献中提出的三种模型——受助者需求、受助者价值和捐助者利益，并将我们的结果与较早的非洲研究结果以及全球范围的援助分配研究进行比较。我们发现，与全球报告的调查结果一致，最近几年的受援者绩效模型不再在非洲的发展援助分配中发挥作用。与此类全球研究相反，在非洲背景下，捐助者利益模型的逻辑似乎并不支配受援者需求模型，因为两者对于援助分配决策同等重要。最后，
