An extra £4 bn to help poor countries for the next 4 years

While the domestic spending in UK is being slashed, the foreign aid budget will increase by 37%.

By increasing is foreign aid, Britain is sending a strong message to the rest of the G20 members that its will honour his promises made to some of the poorest people in the world.


In deciding to increase the foreign aid in the next 4 years, Britain now become the first country in the world to hit one of the United Nations target of donate 0.7% of its national income to the poorest in the world by 2013.

This is still at the moment on the register of a governmental promise to the world`s poor. A promise that need to be respected. From the spending review its appears that the foreign aid budget will grow from £6.3 billion to £9.4 billion by 2014/2015.

This extra aid money would halve according to the Chancellor, George Osborne, the death from malaria and also save around the world lives of 50.000 pregnant women and 250.000 babies.






Philip Davies, Tory Mp decided to scrutinise cameroon used of uk foreign aid.





Aid fund will target in a country like Cameroon, the fight against corruption, the capacity building program to improve the judicial system and his total independence from the state implication, improve the governance and accountability and the independence of the national commission to supervise the elections.
These are the areas that the UK foreign aid in the next 4 years will be allocated in Cameroon. and the government will need to continue its efforts in transparent governance and fighting corruption.

To avoid lots of critics, the coalition government has decided to set up an Independent Commission for Aid Impact with mission to monitor the spending of aid.

 In Cameroon, where there is a real presence of a dictatorship power, some criticism said that foreign aid there is a waste of taxpayers money.
 A group of Mps will be travelling back to Cameroon before the end of the year to re-scrutinise the use of the foreign aid.

Philip Davies, a Tory member of the Parliament said in an interview with the BBC that he and his colleagues will launch an inquiry in Cameroon to scrutinise the government used of the foreign aid they received from the UK.

Cameron`s controversial independence for its judicial system reform has already affect millions of its people.

Davies really think that money should be wisely spent in area where people really need UK support and not where the government is using the UK taxpayers money to buy arms and ammunition to fight against his own people and diminish their freedom of speech and expression
