Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

Decreased by removing funding from any countries with ties to genocide or human right violations. Including the investigation of such.

Maintain, but transfer aid from countries with nuclear weapons programmes or space programmes, such as Pakistan or India to countries that may be affected by poverty or climate change

Decrease and redistribute the funds into our own social programs to ensure the welfare of our own people.

Yes, if the aid goes directly to the people not the governments, with some nations this is difficult to do.

Increase, once the defeceit is reduced

Potentially increase to state groups for human and overall rights to equally distribute to people under their authority, otherwise on developed countries with good human and overall rights, status quo.

We should increase funding to countries that Britain directly impacted the development of, e.g. India

Decrease current spending proportionate to other nations as it is important to be a force for good and stand up for our allies. However withdraw spending from nations that promote terrorism or violate human rights

I don't think the answer is as simple as it sounds and would require more informed information before I decide

During COVID government foreign aid to countries was made smaller. I believe the UK should come first. However, at the same time the UK should be providing some aid to those nations who do are in dire need. Giving aid to nations such as Pakistan, India, and China is completely wrong. Also, we should not be giving aid to those nations who want to "destroy" the West.

Assess the need for a differential application of aid but only for countries where there are human rights violations and there are systems to assure that the money is used responsibly by the recipients.

It depends entirely upon the reason that said country is seeking aid. If the reason aligns with the British publics values then the government should comply.

Decrease, we need to first remove our debt before we can help others and we shouldn't provide aid to countries harbouring or promoting terrorists / terrorism

Neither increase or decrease, also deny aid to countries that harbour or promote terrorism (AND IS PROVEN)

Increase, but only after problems within our own country have been sold and debts paid off

Increase but those that desperately fave humanitarian crisis with dictatorships too.

The UK should not fund countries with well known human rights violations.

The government should give reparations not aid

Increase to help projects that resonate with our values.

This depends on the context.

Increase spending to those who are suffering from huminatarian crisis

Decrease and only spend money on projects that are run by the British government in those countries to ensure the money is used for its intended purpose

I am unsure, We Might be able to offer more aid if we focus on stabilising our own economy first. But at the same time, it would be beneficial to continue our aid.

Increase for Countries that are poor and in need of the aid and decrease for the countries that no longer need aid and support.

Maintain but remove countries that economically do not need it

We must help those in desperate need but nobody else

Increase but we shouldn't expect anything in return

Increase foreign aid spending in India by providing dexamethasone, oxygen and other products during the COVID-19 crisis.

Decrease, more often than not foreign aid disrupts the economic development of recipient nations and is akin to neo imperialism.

Adjust spending depending on what the country needs

Decrease it and replace it with reparations

Money should be used for initiatives to reduce the need for aid in countries that need it

Reform foreign aid

Increase, but monitor where the money is spent

Yes, but put it into useful things like infrastructure and agricultural supplies instead of just food. Furthermore, foreign aid wouldnt be necessary if corporations didnt exploit the third world.

We should be spending the money here on services and homelessness etc

Decrease, but forgive third world debt

Maintain, but invest in long term infrastructure projects for the countries

Maintain current levels, but decrease to countries that harbour or promote terrorism

Keep it at the same level

Maintain current spending, but ensure the interests of Britain are put first.

Keep it at it’s current rate, and not give any aid to governments with human rights violations.

Increase, returning to the level of spending before it was cut by the Johnson administration

Ban foreign spending altogether

Decrease, but only because the data show that it isn't particularly helpful, and that there are alternatives that would have a much bigger impact. Have a year teaching in Africa as part of the teacher training course, for example; supply TB treatments, condoms, scholarships etc etc.

Decrease and ignore the OECD definition especially for countries who need humanitarian aid but who OECD deem to be too "rich" to receive foreign aid. For example, station a RNavy ship in the Carribean in the hurricane season ready to help out with immediate practical aid.
"

Increase but deny to countries which do not share our values

Inscrease significantly
