The volume of aid is adequate, timely, and on an assured long term basis.iv. Under such conditions, there is also a high probability of aid being on concessional terms.(ii) For the Aid-giver:It reduces the risk of default by the aid-recipient, and gives the aid- giver a better control over the design, technology, location, and management, etc., of the aided projects.Tied aid is also expected to generate some extra benefits to the aid-giver country in the form of additional export earnings, secured markets and higher level of domestic employment, and the like.Disadvantages of Tied Aid: -i. It needs no elaboration that for the aid-recipient country, economic cost of the tied aid goes up.ii. Tied aid restricts the choice of its use by the aid-receiving country.iii.
