Despite numerous commitments to reform, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are still using their aid to make developing countries implement inappropriate economic policies, with the tacit approval of rich-country governments.

Aid must be conditional on being spent transparently and on reducing poverty, and nothing more.
