Really interesting article that highlights the effectiveness or otherwise of aid. It has come to a pretty pass when leading campaigners are arguing for a reduction in the levels of aid, and reorganisation of aid spending so as to better reduce poverty.
The article details the difference between spending by the Department for International Development and the Foreign Office and details projects where the latter appears to have little evidence of poverty reduction, or transparency. All of which makes it a little bit depressing that the government has chosen to merge the two, with the Foreign Office subsuming the Department for International Development.
