The Uk spends around 14 bn per year on foreign aid. The top recipients include Pakistan,Ethiopia,Afghanistan,Nigeria and Syria. Many of these countries are embroiled in war, corruption and religious extremism Rarely is any improvement seen to benefit the ordinary people. By 2021 we could be spending in excess of 16 bn. The Gov. has a legal obligation to hand this money over and to meet 0.7% of the target. 64% goes on individual projects in individual countries and humanitarian aid. 36% goes via UN and other agencies.
