what is even more important regarding the aid issue, is that it is somehow or the other sourced again into US bucket. Leave alone that it is sort of targetted towards certain domains, I m not talking out of theory, I worked with these projects and still linked in a way. For example, NGOs seeking funding are usually compelled to operate in certain areas of development where the fund is directed. The free choice is not there. Thus, the whole idea of aid is not but a tool to enfoce more control. what is in fashion now is democracy, advocacy, human rights but from their own perspective if u see what i mean.
