5 Main Messages Aid Can Work. From the Marshall Plan in Europe after World War II to M-PESA in Kenya today, aid has often played a critical role in the development of countries. The New Reality of Aid. The number of new players has increased rapidly and the demands of clients has differentiated. New players have brought fresh energy and approaches to the delivery of aid. But they have also added to fragmentation and volatility. Delivering Aid Differently. Filling gaps is not sufficient. Today, aid needs to leverage knowledge, the hardest currency of the 21 st century, to evaluate programs, identify success, and then scale up.
