Foreign Aid 101: How to Improve US Foreign Assistance

Join Oxfam for the release of our 5th edition of Foreign Aid 101, a report that dispels common myths around US foreign aid to developing countries, answers fundamental questions as to why the US provides it, and recommends how it can be more effective.

2020 was marked by a global reckoning to critically examine systemic power imbalances. The COVID-19 crisis has underscored the compounding pressures of global systemic inequity and highlighted the need for more holistic, human-centered design and response from the Global North. This edition focuses on why feminist, climate-smart aid is critical in foreign assistance and how we as a global community can tackle the root causes of poverty and create lasting solutions.
Now is the time to make foreign aid more effective and more just!
