Britain would stop funding Cameroon and others 15 countries and four United Nations`agencies as it focuses its £6.5billion overseas aid budget on helping the poorest or conflict-ridden countries.
Public sector and some non governmental organizations workers face radical changes to their daily job under the coalition government new proposals to cut foreign aid to Cameroon. Tens of thousands workers, including civil servants will no longer enjoy having to receive double wages.
The country would have to improve transparency, accountability and evaluation system that would allow other countries to readjust their aid programme. Also the government needs to create an independent aid watchdog to scrutinise how the government uses the money that its receive from foreign donors.
The coalition government will phase out aid programmes by 2016 to 16 countries around the world considered no longer to need it.
In that list are included China, Russia, Vietnam, Cameroon, Kosovo, Iraq and others. According to Andrew Mitchell, International Development Secretary of State, " the coalition government is taking a radically different approach to aid. We want to be judged on our results, not on how much money we are spending".
This government has already taken tough decisions on dealing with the deficit by reducing spending and creating million of jobs loses and also a growing anger from unions. The major overhaul of aid policies follows a nine months review of their effectiveness by the coalition government.
There is a growing anger amount the public about the way the government is dealing with the protecting foreign aid policy and programme when many domestic services are being cut and reduce to help curb a record peacetime budget deficit. In return of the public huge anger, this has made the Cameron-Nick government determined to show it is getting value for money from one of the world`s biggest aid budgets.
The money now will be redirected to countries like Congo DRC, Ethiopia, India, Sudan, Zimbabwe and many others over the ground of poor and conflict-ridden or fragile states. On the other hand, Britain will increase funding to less than 10 organizations, which it says provide good value, including, UNICEF, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation and the Global Fund to fight aids, tuberculosis and malaria.
UNESCO, FAO,the development programmes of the commonwealth secretary and the IOM are on the edge of losing funding if they don`t improve the quality of their service and their performance.
Oxfam welcomed the review and they are pleased that the coalition government has kept its promises to the world`s poorest people at a time they need help the most.
