Stringless aid

The United Kingdom is taking steps to streamline the process of aid delivery in Africa with more of the benefits being paid directly to either governments or individuals in cash rather than in deliveries of food or aid agreements with significant strings attached such as the US generally uses. American aid often takes the form of subsidised grains, often genetically modified over the objections of local people and governments, or financial grants which require that the goods or services be purchased from America or American firms. Hopefully this will be effective and, perhaps, serve as an example for the United States.
