ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the effectiveness of Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the human security perspective, with particular attention to its multidimensional nature and the critical role of corruption control. The findings show that the impacts of ODA are domain-specific and vary across dimensions of human security. Scaling up ODA is effective in health dimensions, while broader structural challenges remain less responsive to aid. At the same time, higher levels of ODA dependency affect improvements in personal and political dimensions of human security. Corruption control conditions these relationships by amplifying or constraining aid effectiveness across domains, but weak corruption control does not preclude positive effects in all sectors. Taken together, the findings underscore the analytical value of a multidimensional human security framework and suggest that human security should also be understood as a conditional and domain-specific outcome of aid, moderated by corruption control.
