a lot of the problem with USAID was that most of their money had nothing to do with real development but was pushing political agendas (birth control, gay rights, pro US policies that has nothing to do with helping people, and of course, siphoning a lot of the money to NGO workers, letting politicians in other countries siphon off much of the aid money, and of course, American grifters who use an NGO as a cover for diverting money or laundering it to hide their criminal activity).
Dr Campbell, a nurse practitioner/teacher who has done development work has an excellent talk about how foreign aid can really help countries.
I worked in other countries and cultures, and he has it right.
So a headsup to those who want to reform the way the US sends aid to other countries.
