Opis

Whilst public support for the aid program in Australia is strong, Australians are wary of costs and want to ensure that aid is proven to be effective. Australia's Foreign Aid Program shows how aid fits into the story of Australia’s place in the world and why this form of public expenditure persists, but also why its budget and administering institution have a perpetually tenuous existence.
