Ethical debate around development aid has gradually grown and diversified , and a field that spans some aspects of policy, organisational and personal practice has partly emerged. After characterising this trend, the paper considers :
- the key question of the types of obligation, if any, involved in aid; is the aid purely charity and beyond obligation(s)? What do different views here imply for roles and conditions in aid?
- the significance of aid, especially technical cooperation, of inter-personal relations and work-style and life-style issues.
- Will specific ethical guidelines and codes for aid organizations and aid workers be worthwhile?
