Well-heeled consultants and companies in the west are the beneficiaries
of a global aid system which results in less than 40p in every pound
helping to eradicate poverty in the developing world, according to a
report out today.
Just over a month before Britain will make a doubling of aid a
centrepiece of the Gleneagles summit, the charity ActionAid said the
bulk of the money currently allocated was wasted, misdirected or
recycled within rich countries.
