The average American thinks the US government spends as much as 30 percent of the federal budget on foreign aid. In fact poverty-focused aid is less
than 1% of the federal budget. But what is used for? Is it effective? How
could it be more effective?
Dalitso Kingsley Kubalasa is the executive director of the Malawi Economic
Justice Network, Mr. Kubalasa will share his view on how the changes the
US government has made in recent years in the way it delivers foreign aid
has impacted development efforts on the ground in Malawi. He will address
improvements in donor aid transparency standards that benefit both the
American public and governments & citizens in developing countries, as
well his thoughts on how Malawi can position itself to end its dependency
on foreign aid, and what the US government can do to help that transition. The Malawi Economic Justice Network is a network of over 100 civil
society organizations in Malawi, organized to ensure that the Government of
Malawi directs its policies & actions to benefit the poor.
Mr. Kubalasa will be in Indianapolis as part of a thought-leadership tour
with Oxfam America, a member of the Oxfam International confederation.
Oxfam is a global organization working to right the wrongs of poverty, hunger, and injustice. Oxfam works with people in more than 90 countries to
develop long-term solutions to poverty and campaign for social change.
