International Agencies for Development

Arnold Rivkin has specialized in economic and technical assistance for Africa for the World Bank since 1962. Prior to that, he was director of African economic and political research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a senior aid official of the Marshall Plan and successor organizations. His two books, Africa and the West (New York: Praeger, 1962) and The African Presence in World Affairs (New York: Free Press of Glencoe, 1963) survey the aid requirements of the new African states and propose a new multilateral plan (OASES) to meet these needs.
