The figure of ~$6.2 bilion for FY12 aid to Israel is, quite simply, a lie. The real amount is roughly the same as it was in FY11, i.e. around $3.1 billion. You might want to check in other sources to verify, as the number you quote is an obvious error. The figure of ~12.9 billion for Afhganistan also looks rather inflated. I recall a figure of $8.5 billion, but no certain. Once again, verify in other sources, and update as needed. False statistics only brings Wikipedia into further disrepute. JD

I have changed it back to the original figure. You used $US, Disbursements ( http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/docs/tables/wbg_10000000100001_0109.xls). The table is presented in $US, Obligations http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/docs/tables/wbg_10000000100010_0109.xls -- 38.124.246.98 ( talk) 19:53, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
I've just corrected the figure under the West Bank/Gaza in below table, using the same link, and found the figure different. I am not sure the rest of the figures are correct, since the link [7] on the table takes the reader to a generic USAID page, and then the reader has to do the search him/herself. Therefore, I only corrected the WB/GS figure, providing its own ref link to an xls sheet from the same USAID website. Gahgeer ( talk) 01:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

How was the aid per capita calculated? The list on the Greenbook site differs. http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/about/historical_us_assistance_per_capita.xls 38.124.246.98 ( talk) 16:46, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello NickCT,
Sorry about deleting the previous comments. I was using the discussion page as a sandbox, so I was deleting my own comments. I will follow protocol from now on.
The percapita numbers are considerably off from the greenbook. The greebook excel file
http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/about/historical_us_assistance_per_capita.xls has three worksheets. Using the third worksheet - Total_Assistance_per_Capita I get these numbers:
Country | Economic Assistance FY 2009, $US millions | Military Assistance FY2009, $US millions | U.S. Total Economic and Military FY2009, $US millions | US Economic and Military Assistance per Capita, $US |
Afghanistan | 3,046.30 | 5,717.60 | 8,763.90 | 308.64 |

Hi, I'm editing wikipedia as a class project for the global public policy initiative. I've decided to add a section to this article dealing with President Obama's changes to US foreign aid during his time in presidency. AbbeyTurt ( talk) 04:37, 26 April 2011 (UTC)AbbeyTurt

Response to third opinion request: |
Hello! I'm responding to the third opinion request as an uninvolved third party. My role is to assist in resolving the dispute. The third opinion process is informal and nonbinding.
The current dispute revolves around the appropriateness of the analysis edits made by 68.174.150.58. Although the edits were made in good faith, and I encourage both editors to continue contributing, from a policy standpoint, the analysis does appear to make a point of view, which is discouraged. Analysis can be neutral, but "incompleteness," as 68.174.150.58 has phrased it, can affect the balance and impartial tone of the article. By highlighting the foreign aid given to certain countries (Muslim countries) and not others, the article is implicitly suggesting a POV, even if it's not explicitly stated. The solution is to either balance the tone of the analysis by equally representing all demographics, or remove the analysis entirely. Let the data speak for itself. I hope that helps!

Saudi Arabia is listed, but surely there are others? It is also clear for what reason and what the exceptions are. -- Beland ( talk) 02:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
I do not oppose the foreign aid as its fortunate to help others.However charity begins at home so I am for taxable foreign aid proposal . These taxable foreign aid proposal should be mandatory and help people who are desperately searching for jobs or needs low cost medical help or low cost education training help..Hence any lack of access to easy information regarding this topic has been frustrating to me and wish that the wikipage include sources of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vdhananjay ( talk • contribs) 18:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I think the article should include a new section that covers debate within the United States on whether to provide foreign aid.
"It has been politically highly charged, as most Americans believe the amount of aid is much higher than the reality." The reality of what?
Section 4.5.1 may not be neutral - 'US-caused Global Financial Crisis'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by One Of Seven Billion ( talk • contribs) 17:02, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Dr. Tarp has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
This article contains useful information but could be thoroughly edited. In addition: The distinction between official aid and other types of aid is not clear in the present version of the article. A few additional comments: 1. "can be divided into two broad categories: military aid and economic assistance". I would add humanitarian assistance as a category. 2. "Whether aid figures should include remittances by immigrant workers in the United States to their families outside the country is disputed." I find this discussion ought to take as its starting point the OECD/DAC official definition for official development assistance (ODA). The other types of aid can be added in steps so a clear picture of which flows are discussed will emerge.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
We believe Dr. Tarp has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
Can we update these tables through 2016 or 2017 and add TOTALS to the charts? MaynardClark ( talk) 00:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
ExpertIdeasBot ( talk) 11:33, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I'm looking to add onto the section in this article regarding public opinion. These are some sources I have found that I believe will be useful in improving this section.
WPO Admin. “American Public Vastly Overestimates Amount of U.S. Foreign Aid.” World Public Opinion, 29 Nov. 2010, worldpublicopinion.net/american-public-vastly-overestimates-amount-of-u-s-foreign-aid/.
This website has polls regarding the average American’s knowledge about US foreign aid spending as well as ones that capture the opinions of Americans on foreign aid.
Hurst, Reuben, et al. “Analysis | Americans Love to Hate Foreign Aid, but the Right Argument Makes Them like It a Lot More.” The Washington Post, WP Company, 4 May 2017, www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/05/04/americans-love-to-hate-foreign-aid-but-the-right-argument-makes-them-like-it-a-lot-more/?utm_term=.bbd9ea3f8749.
The Washington Post wrote an article about how US public opinion on foreign aid is easily persuaded. This article discusses how, when presented with different arguments, people’s opinions about foreign aid change. I could discuss this in the section about public opinion on the wikipedia page to further examine how people view foreign aid and why.
Kull, Steven. “Preserving American Public Support for Foreign Aid.” Brookings Blum Roundtable Policy Briefs, pp. 53–60.
The academic publishing, Preserving American Public Support for Foreign Aid, discusses how to shape people’s opinions on foreign aid. This would also further my discussion on the Wikipedia page regarding where and how people form their ideas about foreign aid. It also includes polling data about how public opinion on foreign aid has changed over the years and why.
Hu, Alice C. “Foreign Aid and the 28 Percent Myth.” Harvard International Review, 11 Mar. 2015, hir.harvard.edu/article/?a=8127
A Harvard International Review examines the effects of the US foreign aid budget being so largely misconceived. I would be able to use this article to link polls revealing how little people know to the political effects this lack of knowledge has.
Baker, Andy. 2015. “Race, Paternalism, and Foreign Aid: Evidence from U.S. Public Opinion.” American Political Science Review 109 (1): 93–109.
This article discusses how white people in America are more likely to be in support of giving foreign aid to poor African countries over poor eastern European countries due to underlying racial paternalism. This is an interesting article because it evaluates why different types of people support different types of foreign aid.
Much of the content that was added to this section feels like it's a bit of an OR essay, enough to where I'm mildly tempted to remove the added content entirely. I think that there's some good information that could be useful, which is why I haven't done this. I've tagged the section as having OR and needing a re-write because of this. Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 18:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
The 50.1 billion figure in the article is based on the total State Department and USAID budget (according to the source), not the foreign aid portion. It would be good to have an accurate foreign aid figure instead. Vox Sciurorum ( talk) 16:11, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
I've just removed the statistic in the introduction stating that while the federal aid budget is only 1.2% of federal spending, it is "equivalent to about 7.5% of the deficit". I'd like to preempt any objections to this by pointing out why this (unsourced) statistic is nonsensical. There is a reason there is no provided reference for this—it doesn't come from any reliable source, it was clearly just calculated by an editor who took the cost of federal aid (about $50 billion) and divided it by the 2017 federal deficit ($665 billion) to get 7.5%. This would be like taking the 2017 military budget ($582.7 billion [1]) and claiming that it is "equivalent to 87% of deficit", even though nowhere near 87% of the deficit comes from the military (everything in the federal budget comes from the same revenue pool, so the percent of the deficit that comes from the military is the same as the percent of the budget that goes the military: about 15%). This statistic exists only to make the cost of federal aid seem absurdly high, just as claiming the military is "equivalent to 87% of deficit" would do, or that social security is "equivalent to 209% of the deficit", or that Medicare is "equivalent to 176% of the deficit". Not only is it not a meaningful statistic since it says very little about how much federal aid actually contributes to the deficit, but it actively misleads readers about how much the budget actually contributes to the deficit (many reading at face-value will come away thinking 7.5% of deficit comes from foreign aid). This kind of statistic does not exist on the pages of other federal programs (and exists nowhere else on this page), experts do not use this kind of statistic, and it should not be included here.

re this edit [1] morality is not mentioned in the body so it shouldn't be in the lead. If you plan to add it to the body, ok, for now forget I said anything and we can revisit when timely if need be NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 00:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
believe that morality is a basic fact of the purpose of foreign aid" ..... that is pure and I mean extbook WP:Original research and/or WP:POV. Suppose its about ethics instead of morality? Suppose its about self-serving foreign policy[? Suppose there are strings attached? While your worldview might have a philosophic orientation to morality, and while mine might or might not, that's on us. Not everyone marches to that drum. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 01:13, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
This Jan 2022 report by the CRS [2] says national security, commerial interests, and humanitarian reasons, so I updated the article accordingly. My main problem with "morality" is that it is far too ambiguous, since there are so many different kinds of moral philosophy. But humanitarianism is clear enough.

An editor removed my neutral pov from the article without comment on the talk page or consulting me first. The editor called my POV objection "pointless." This is editorial bad faith since reverting the article was not an emergency, and the characterization of the objection as "pointless" was disrespectful, presumptuous, and evinced bias.
Since editing wars are discouraged, I will not seek to reinstate the it. However, I request a neutral third party to read the article as written and my specific arguments regarding why it is not neutral. If that fails, I may request arbitration. Biolitblue ( talk) 16:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
The GAO says Saudi Arabia + UAE received $50B in military aid over the six years ending in 2021, which would put them at or near the top of the lists for military aid. They don't appear anywhere, however. What explains the discrepancy? Seems like it should be added. 71.212.60.122 ( talk) 06:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

The figure of ~$6.2 bilion for FY12 aid to Israel is, quite simply, a lie. The real amount is roughly the same as it was in FY11, i.e. around $3.1 billion. You might want to check in other sources to verify, as the number you quote is an obvious error. The figure of ~12.9 billion for Afhganistan also looks rather inflated. I recall a figure of $8.5 billion, but no certain. Once again, verify in other sources, and update as needed. False statistics only brings Wikipedia into further disrepute. JD

I've just corrected the figure under the West Bank/Gaza in below table, using the same link, and found the figure different. I am not sure the rest of the figures are correct, since the link [7] on the table takes the reader to a generic USAID page, and then the reader has to do the search him/herself. Therefore, I only corrected the WB/GS figure, providing its own ref link to an xls sheet from the same USAID website. Gahgeer ( talk) 01:03, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

How was the aid per capita calculated? The list on the Greenbook site differs. http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/about/historical_us_assistance_per_capita.xls 38.124.246.98 ( talk) 16:46, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello NickCT,
Sorry about deleting the previous comments. I was using the discussion page as a sandbox, so I was deleting my own comments. I will follow protocol from now on.
The percapita numbers are considerably off from the greenbook. The greebook excel file
http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/about/historical_us_assistance_per_capita.xls has three worksheets. Using the third worksheet - Total_Assistance_per_Capita I get these numbers:

Response to third opinion request: |
Hello! I'm responding to the third opinion request as an uninvolved third party. My role is to assist in resolving the dispute. The third opinion process is informal and nonbinding.
The current dispute revolves around the appropriateness of the analysis edits made by 68.174.150.58. Although the edits were made in good faith, and I encourage both editors to continue contributing, from a policy standpoint, the analysis does appear to make a point of view, which is discouraged. Analysis can be neutral, but "incompleteness," as 68.174.150.58 has phrased it, can affect the balance and impartial tone of the article. By highlighting the foreign aid given to certain countries (Muslim countries) and not others, the article is implicitly suggesting a POV, even if it's not explicitly stated. The solution is to either balance the tone of the analysis by equally representing all demographics, or remove the analysis entirely. Let the data speak for itself. I hope that helps!

Saudi Arabia is listed, but surely there are others? It is also clear for what reason and what the exceptions are. -- Beland ( talk) 02:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
I do not oppose the foreign aid as its fortunate to help others.However charity begins at home so I am for taxable foreign aid proposal . These taxable foreign aid proposal should be mandatory and help people who are desperately searching for jobs or needs low cost medical help or low cost education training help..Hence any lack of access to easy information regarding this topic has been frustrating to me and wish that the wikipage include sources of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vdhananjay ( talk • contribs) 18:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I think the article should include a new section that covers debate within the United States on whether to provide foreign aid.
"It has been politically highly charged, as most Americans believe the amount of aid is much higher than the reality." The reality of what?
Section 4.5.1 may not be neutral - 'US-caused Global Financial Crisis'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by One Of Seven Billion ( talk • contribs) 17:02, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
Dr. Tarp has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
This article contains useful information but could be thoroughly edited. In addition: The distinction between official aid and other types of aid is not clear in the present version of the article. A few additional comments: 1. "can be divided into two broad categories: military aid and economic assistance". I would add humanitarian assistance as a category. 2. "Whether aid figures should include remittances by immigrant workers in the United States to their families outside the country is disputed." I find this discussion ought to take as its starting point the OECD/DAC official definition for official development assistance (ODA). The other types of aid can be added in steps so a clear picture of which flows are discussed will emerge.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

I'm looking to add onto the section in this article regarding public opinion. These are some sources I have found that I believe will be useful in improving this section.
WPO Admin. “American Public Vastly Overestimates Amount of U.S. Foreign Aid.” World Public Opinion, 29 Nov. 2010, worldpublicopinion.net/american-public-vastly-overestimates-amount-of-u-s-foreign-aid/.
This website has polls regarding the average American’s knowledge about US foreign aid spending as well as ones that capture the opinions of Americans on foreign aid.
Hurst, Reuben, et al. “Analysis | Americans Love to Hate Foreign Aid, but the Right Argument Makes Them like It a Lot More.” The Washington Post, WP Company, 4 May 2017, www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/05/04/americans-love-to-hate-foreign-aid-but-the-right-argument-makes-them-like-it-a-lot-more/?utm_term=.bbd9ea3f8749.
The Washington Post wrote an article about how US public opinion on foreign aid is easily persuaded. This article discusses how, when presented with different arguments, people’s opinions about foreign aid change. I could discuss this in the section about public opinion on the wikipedia page to further examine how people view foreign aid and why.
Kull, Steven. “Preserving American Public Support for Foreign Aid.” Brookings Blum Roundtable Policy Briefs, pp. 53–60.
The academic publishing, Preserving American Public Support for Foreign Aid, discusses how to shape people’s opinions on foreign aid. This would also further my discussion on the Wikipedia page regarding where and how people form their ideas about foreign aid. It also includes polling data about how public opinion on foreign aid has changed over the years and why.
Hu, Alice C. “Foreign Aid and the 28 Percent Myth.” Harvard International Review, 11 Mar. 2015, hir.harvard.edu/article/?a=8127
A Harvard International Review examines the effects of the US foreign aid budget being so largely misconceived. I would be able to use this article to link polls revealing how little people know to the political effects this lack of knowledge has.
Baker, Andy. 2015. “Race, Paternalism, and Foreign Aid: Evidence from U.S. Public Opinion.” American Political Science Review 109 (1): 93–109.
This article discusses how white people in America are more likely to be in support of giving foreign aid to poor African countries over poor eastern European countries due to underlying racial paternalism. This is an interesting article because it evaluates why different types of people support different types of foreign aid.
Much of the content that was added to this section feels like it's a bit of an OR essay, enough to where I'm mildly tempted to remove the added content entirely. I think that there's some good information that could be useful, which is why I haven't done this. I've tagged the section as having OR and needing a re-write because of this.

The 50.1 billion figure in the article is based on the total State Department and USAID budget (according to the source), not the foreign aid portion. It would be good to have an accurate foreign aid figure instead. Vox Sciurorum ( talk) 16:11, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
I've just removed the statistic in the introduction stating that while the federal aid budget is only 1.2% of federal spending, it is "equivalent to about 7.5% of the deficit". I'd like to preempt any objections to this by pointing out why this (unsourced) statistic is nonsensical. There is a reason there is no provided reference for this—it doesn't come from any reliable source, it was clearly just calculated by an editor who took the cost of federal aid (about $50 billion) and divided it by the 2017 federal deficit ($665 billion) to get 7.5%. This would be like taking the 2017 military budget ($582.7 billion [1]) and claiming that it is "equivalent to 87% of deficit", even though nowhere near 87% of the deficit comes from the military (everything in the federal budget comes from the same revenue pool, so the percent of the deficit that comes from the military is the same as the percent of the budget that goes the military: about 15%). This statistic exists only to make the cost of federal aid seem absurdly high, just as claiming the military is "equivalent to 87% of deficit" would do, or that social security is "equivalent to 209% of the deficit", or that Medicare is "equivalent to 176% of the deficit". Not only is it not a meaningful statistic since it says very little about how much federal aid actually contributes to the deficit, but it actively misleads readers about how much the budget actually contributes to the deficit (many reading at face-value will come away thinking 7.5% of deficit comes from foreign aid). This kind of statistic does not exist on the pages of other federal programs (and exists nowhere else on this page), experts do not use this kind of statistic, and it should not be included here.

re this edit [1] morality is not mentioned in the body so it shouldn't be in the lead. If you plan to add it to the body, ok, for now forget I said anything and we can revisit when timely if need be NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 00:00, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
believe that morality is a basic fact of the purpose of foreign aid" ..... that is pure and I mean extbook WP:Original research and/or WP:POV. Suppose its about ethics instead of morality? Suppose its about self-serving foreign policy[? Suppose there are strings attached? While your worldview might have a philosophic orientation to morality, and while mine might or might not, that's on us. Not everyone marches to that drum. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 01:13, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
This Jan 2022 report by the CRS [2] says national security, commerial interests, and humanitarian reasons, so I updated the article accordingly. My main problem with "morality" is that it is far too ambiguous, since there are so many different kinds of moral philosophy. But humanitarianism is clear enough.

An editor removed my neutral pov from the article without comment on the talk page or consulting me first. The editor called my POV objection "pointless." This is editorial bad faith since reverting the article was not an emergency, and the characterization of the objection as "pointless" was disrespectful, presumptuous, and evinced bias.
Since editing wars are discouraged, I will not seek to reinstate the it. However, I request a neutral third party to read the article as written and my specific arguments regarding why it is not neutral. If that fails, I may request arbitration. Biolitblue ( talk) 16:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
The GAO says Saudi Arabia + UAE received $50B in military aid over the six years ending in 2021, which would put them at or near the top of the lists for military aid. They don't appear anywhere, however. What explains the discrepancy? Seems like it should be added. 71.212.60.122 ( talk) 06:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
