Have you ever wondered if "foreign aid" is actually... helpful?

I'm researching a provocative question: Why do we call loans with interest "aid" when they often leave countries deeper in debt?

My upcoming paper explores how the language of "helping developing countries" can hide relationships where poor nations end up paying more in interest than they receive in new funds.

Whether you work in development, study global politics, or are just curious about how international finance really works, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

infrastructural deficits, socio-economic disparities, policy inefficiencies, and limited human capital, collectively

exacerbating inequality and reducing the effectiveness of digital solutions across key sectors.
