Aid: how much of it really gets through? 20 years ago, Bob Geldof and his charity Band Aid raised nearly £100 million for Ethiopia. But earlier this month a BBC World Service report claimed that 95% of what was raised was diverted into the hands of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) a rebel group fighting against the Mengistu regime at the time. What is the impact of such claims? To what extent is aid sidetracked in conflict zones across the continent? How much do aid agencies compromise? And what are the best means and policies of delivering aid? Henry Bonsu is joined by PHIL VERNON, Director of Programmes for Africa at International Alert, AMINATA KAMARA from Wish for Africa and SAMUEL BURKE, Hearts to Africa. Also featuring Richard Dowden, Director of the Royal African Society and Nigel Timmins, Humanitarian Programmes Manager at Christian Aid.
