ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a series of guidelines that the US government might impose on its policy design in the Indian case and suggests a policy design. There may be a persuasive North-South case for raising the annual flow of US-originating overseas development assistance to India by as much as $1.8 billion in 1977 dollars. Not only must the United States, as a revived leader of aid to India, be concerned that these other aspects be adequately represented in other donors' contributions; it should include some of these aspects in its own bilateral effort. In any large and serious multidonor development assistance effort, one donor, usually the largest, tends to acquire the role of residual donor; in this role, after duly exhorting its colleagues, it tries to pick up loose ends, fill critical gaps, and make the whole design work.
