Who should have the most say in how aid is used?
I think international aid is sometimes used the wrong way because the people that are receiving it aren’t getting to have a say in what it is used for. However, if the country receiving it has a say in what it is used for, it might go to something that is a little bit better. For instance if a country has a flood in one city they would ask for aid to fix that city. But if the country giving the aid says that it would go towards education in another city that would be a waste of aid.
People may think the country giving the aid should have more say because they are the ones giving the aid. Even though they are giving the aid, I feel the people receiving it know what it is being used for.
They also probably asked for the aid so they know what the aid is needed for. While the people giving aid won’t know what it is needed for. Ido also think both countries should have a say in how the aid is used.
Another reason why I think the country receiving aid should get a bigger say in how aid is used is the county that is giving the aid might haft to do something else for there country or for another country. Also the country that are receiving the aid know what is best for there country.
The country that are giving the aid might do something dangerous for that country. However if the country receiving it has more say in how the aid is used they will know what’s dangerous and what is not dangerous for the country. If the country giving aid does something that isn’t right for the country, it might end badly.
