NGO's considered harmful
An Australian economist asserted that
"The countries with the highest aid per capita (including Pacific countries) have had the slowest growth. But, in political terms, forgiving debt that they are not servicing from African countries is much easier than reducing the subsidies that western Europe, the US and Japan give their farmers at a cost of $300 billion annually to developing countries. So is increasing the volume of aid to $100 billion a year by Western taxpayers.

The international NGOs, led by Geldof and his singers, are facilitating yet another betrayal of Africa." (The Australian)
