DerivedForeign Aid
Foreign aid should be limited, accountable and focused on concrete humanitarian or developmental needs rather than ideological nation-building or permanent dependency.
Position
Government's first obligations are toward its own political community, while genuine humanitarian duties remain.
Policy
- Prioritize emergency assistance after war, famine, natural disaster and comparable humanitarian catastrophes.
- Prefer aid delivered near affected populations where effective.
- Require transparency and auditing.
- Terminate programmes substantially captured by corruption or patronage.
- Reject aid designed principally to impose ideological or cultural transformation.
- Prefer assistance that builds local capacity rather than indefinite dependency.
- Permit support for medicine, food security, clean water and reconstruction where demonstrably effective.
- Keep aid subordinate to legitimate domestic fiscal obligations.
Implementation note
Implementation note
The manifesto does not specify foreign-aid budgets or mechanisms. This is derived from prudence, humanitarian concern and the presumption against ideological intervention.
