The paper objectives are two folds: first assess the effect of aid on economic growth using time series data for the Egyptian economy during the period 1980 to 2010. The data covered a period of 1995- 2010 and were analyzed using fully modified least squares (FMOLS). Considering the time series properties of the variables, unit root test was done to establish stationarity prior to actual analysis. The result of the FMOLS indicated that net bilateral aid to Egypt had a significant negative effect on GDP per capita. Second, assess the implemented drinking water and sanitation projects in Egypt funded by USAID and Swiss Fund. We rely on interviews and focus groups discussion, relying on the key informants at the district in Fayoum governorate. Outcome show that many donors’ countries currently perceive budget support as a tool for leveraging high-level policy change. The conditionality attached to budget support require a challenging dialogue between donors and government to offer sustainable projects.
