According to the U.S. Department of State, Office of Foreign
Assistance, Eritrea is the only African nation that has not requested US aid
for the fiscal year of 2011.
In keeping with its self-relaince policy, the government of Eritrea
stopped requesting any financial assistance from the United States since
2005, and fully cut-off all third party NGOs that
were financially sponsored by the United States after 2006. The Eritrean
government believes that foreign assistance breeds a culture of dependency
that shackles African countries into a cycle of poverty.
Moreover, a growing number of economic experts are now taking the same
position as Eritrea's government by suggesting aid to Africa is doing more
harm than good. Economist such as Dambisa Moyo argues aid to Africa is
making African countries poorer. Moyo, who has a Doctorate in Economics from
Oxford University, and a Masters from Harvard’s Kennedy School of
Government, believes foreign aid is "easy money that fosters corruption and
distorts economies, creating a culture of dependency and economic laziness"
(ABC <http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2009/s2520029.htm>).
The following chart below shows the top 10 highest aid recipients from the
United states. Please keep in mind, these figures are only from the United
States, and do not include other European and Eastern nations that
contribute substantially to their yearly fiscal budgets. To read the top 10
