I think there needs to be a system put in place to ensure the money is getting to where its needed. The amount of aid sent out doesn't always get there.

IU'm pretty sure such systems already exist and the people behind them are doing their best. If you can do better, well call yur local senator or minister or whatever is applicable and tell them YUR brilliant idea to make the system better.

Why are you spending yur time on a BB forum if you have this amazing new system to make sure AID money get's spent in a more effective way??

Go for it man!

I don't agree it should be stopped. Something just needs to be done to ensure the aid is reaching its destination.

I do not think we should stop foregn aid but the way we donate it needs to change.

One of the main conserns to me when I donate money to international charites is where exactly does my my money go to?

I think instead of issuing lump sums of cash to developing countries we should invest in donating resources that can help them (food, tools, clothing etc) instead of pure money. This in turn would be funded and managed by inderpendent charites and not by the goverments.

NO foreign aid should be donated DIRECTLY to foreign govererments. That would ensure trust from the public and make sure their pound is going to good causes. This is a better solution.
