Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

Foreign aid is broken it should focused on teaching recipients self sufficiency setting up schools teaching states craft, teaching agricultural science providing equipment, giving applicable appropriate technologies

Aid spending as it is currently organised is deep flawed, but more should be done to aid impoverished nations and those suffering from genocide and humanitarian crises (Palestine, Sudan, Congo, etc)

Increase, but rework foreign aid to invest directly in the construction of infrastructure and jobs overseas rather than handing money to foreign governments or individuals.

Decrease, foreign aid should be used for long-term programs which benefit the individuals and not the government.

We should provide aid to peoples movements in other countries that are committed to the empowerment of the working class.

I am ok with current spending, but aid shouldn't be given to countries that have broken international law

It should remain the same, but that money should be focused on only being given to schemes that are beneficial long term and not short term solutions with later negative results. Eg. Giving money to schemes that provide food to areas but employing people from that area to grow, make and handout that food, instead of buying cheap grain elsewhere and sending it to them.

Decrease to those countries that promote terrorism and violate human rights but increase to those countries struggling in poverty, health and water.

Decrease until homeless crisis decreases, but we shoukd increase once we have a balance

Aid should be given to countries in need but be highly regulated to ensure it gets to the right people and where it’s most beneficial. Also it should be used in a way that encourages self reliance.

I think it would be good in theory but I'm unsure I it is financially feasible.

Increase but rather than just giving money to corrupt governments we should directly fund the building of hospitals, schools ect.

Decrease because you should look after your own national problems first

Decrease for countries that abuse human rights

State Aid should be universal it should be a humanitarian Aid

I'm satisfied with the current amount but limit it to countries that have no human rights violations

Keep the level of foreign aid the same, but redistribute it to exclude countries with human rights violations, or where there is evidence of a country's government misusing aid money.

Yes we do need to increase foreign aid spending but we need to drastically reduce our national budget deficit & we need to Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism
