Have you ever wondered where your aid money is going?<\/p>\n

“Australia delivers, on average, around $3.3 billion in aid each year, funding aid projects and programs in the Pacific, Southeast Asia, as well as parts of Africa and the Middle East. However aid payments don\u2019t necessarily go directly to the communities or governments they\u2019re intended to assist. Australian aid dollars end up in the hands of a variety of players including private contractors, Australian government departments, NGOs and multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and UN agencies”.<\/p>\n

Aid Watch has a e-news bulletin published twice a month<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
