This week our new goverment is showing its colours in regard to the direction its likley to take over NZ Aid. NZ Aid is respected around the world, and seen as one of the better models. Whats being proposed is alarming to say the least, and we need to make every effort we can to keep NZ Aid the way it is.
www.dontcorruptaid.org.nz is a campaign to keep New Zealand’s international aid focussed on addressing poverty and not being a polictical football. Heaps of great resources and info on the site.

Ive started school again! and My lecturer was saying that despite the current financial crisis- Aid has not dropped, nor does he expect it to. Because The crisis is hitting the banking systems which is in reality debt and nothing actually real. Hmmm.. im not particually economically minded so this may be silly or it amy m,ake some sense. The no decrease in aid is still a good thing! I wonder if NZ AID s restructuring would be ok if no aid was compromised?
