AID POLICY GOALS
AID: Providing adequate funding for development programs and improving their effectiveness
The Catholic Campaign Against Global Poverty calls for our nation to increase and reform development aid to poor countries to improve the lives and dignity of all God’s children.
- Target assistance to the poorest countries and maximize the share of new development assistance to the poorest countries that is provided as grants, rather than loans.
- Increase and reform assistance to developing countries to help meet the Millennium Development Goals, international targets for reducing by half the number of people living in extreme poverty by 2015.
- Support initiatives that combat corruption and improve transparency in aid programs.
- Make sure there is coordination and consistency among trade, aid and debt policies to help overcome poverty and combat hunger.
