Is foreign aid for the rich or the poor?

You will investigate the topic “Is foreign aid for the rich or the poor?” in more depth and compare and contrast it across three different states in the world.
Your Research Paper must be comparative: use three States of the 193 States in the world to analyse a subject.
The paper must cover an issue of relevance to international law and include at least one international organization. Your paper must also include a range of peer-reviewed (e.g. 6-8) articles and relevant organizational reports.

would suggest you frame your paper around the Paris Declaration and Accra Framework for Action https://www.oecd.org/dac/effectiveness/parisdeclarationandaccraagendaforaction.htm. You can argue it has been valuable or ineffective.
If you use IDA as your organization, they may use some metrics on aid effectiveness that you can bring into your discussion. Alternatively, you may choose to look at progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals as a way to gauge success. In choosing three states to look at, I would imagine you could choose states that give generously, like Nordic states, or ones that tie aid to self interest (like the US, China and sometimes Canada). Alternatively, you could also focus your paper on receiver countries. There are no shortage of examples of expensive infrastructure projects funded by donor states that were of little value to receiver states!
