I see that the UK government is cracking down on the use of overseas aid monies. The United Kingdom contributes about UKL12 billion (P840 billion) in overseas aid, the second-biggest amount [after the United States] of 29 OECD countries on the Development Assistance Committee. The amount of aid to be provided by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Developmentcountries has been set by the United Nations at 0.7 percent of each nation’s Gross National Income, but not all member-states manage to achieve that. Of the total, 40 percent go to multilateral organizations such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank; the other 60 percent go directly to foreign governments. It is a legacy from colonial times. The UK government was the biggest single aid provider giving UKL77 million (P5.4 billion) to the Philippines in respect of Super Typhoon Yolanda effects, an engagement viewed as a great success by the donor.
