Who should have the most say in how aid is used: the countries giving the aid or the communities receiving it?

I strongly believe that communities receiving international aid should have the most say in how it is used. They live with the problems every day, so they understand their real needs better than donor countries.
For example, a community might need clean water, healthcare or better roads, but outsiders may assume something different. If aid is decided only by the countries giving it, the support might not match the actual situation.
However, donor countries should still monitor how the money is spent to ensure transparency and prevent misuse.
In my opinion, the most effective aid happens when local voices lead the decisions and donor countries support responsibly.
