505 0 Introduction -- Does U.S. foreign aid focus on the poorest
countries? -- Does U.S. aid focus on countries whose
governments show a commitment to helping the poor? --
Doesn't U.S. aid have a moderating influence on repressive
foreign governments? -- Wouldn't channeling more aid
through multilateral institutions curb the use of aid for
narrow foreign policy and corporate interests? -- Doesn't
our foreign aid now go primarily to agricultures and rural
development? -- If only one-quarter of World Bank loans go,
even nominally, for agriculture and rural development,
what does the World Bank do with the rest? -- Don't
agriculture and rural development projects now focus on
small farmers? -- Certainly there must be AID and World
Bank projects that have helped small farmers increase
their productivity. Don't such projects help the poor and
the hungry? -- Are AID and the World Bank now promoting
land reform and redistribution? -- Can't agencies like AID
and the World Bank use aid money more effectively than
small nongovernmental aid agencies? -- Even if most aid is
not for agricultural and rural development or for the poor,
doesn't it stimulate the economies of third world
countries? -- Don't food aid programs get food to hungry
people? -- Hasn't food aid been reformed? -- What happens
to our food aid when it reaches a country where the
majority of people are hungry? -- Aren't food-for-work
programs more effective in helping the hungry and in
building food self-reliance? -- Isn't food aid necessary
in emergencies? -- Are you suggesting that most food aid
should be terminated? -- Aren't you arguing a chancy and
cruel proposition that even though an aid cut-off might
hurt some people today it is necessary so that structural
changes can, in the longer run, eradicate hunger? Why not
instead seek out the few successful projects and try to
multiply them? -- Is nongovernmental private aid the
solution? -- If our government's foreign aid basically
hurts the hungry, is there anything we can do to help
them? -- A primer: some essential facts about the aid
establishment -- Charts. Chart I: Ten top recipients get
51 percent of U.S. bilateral economic assistance ; Chart
II: Top ten recipients get 90 percent of U.S. military
assistance ; Chart III: Top ten recipients get 56 percent
of World Bank assistance ; Chart IV: Top ten recipients
get three-quarters of allocated U.S. food aid -- Notes --
