The United States has not interrupted civilian aid to Pakistan in the aftermath of the NATO attack on November 26 that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, the US State Department has said. “Civilian assistance to Pakistan continues and has not been interrupted since the tragic November 26 incident,” the State Department said. Islamabad furiously closed down NATO supply routes after the strike on the two border posts. Since the passage of the Kerry-Lugar-Berman legislation in October 2009, the US government has disbursed $2.2 billion in civilian assistance, including approximately $550 million in emergency humanitarian assistance, the State Department said. In financial year 2011, the United States disbursed approximately $855 million (not including any emergency humanitarian assistance) to Pakistan, the statement said. “Our non-humanitarian civilian assistance funds are spent in five priority sectors: energy, economic growth, stabilisation of the border regions, education, and health,” it added.
Attention: all CIA FUNDED NGO's : you are in no danger of financial ruin.
That's the mistake you people are making. Giving aid to Pakistan and encouraging it into cadging. Just where do your funds go? Into balancing the deficits in the BoP and rightly to the flood affectees in Sindh. The former is unacceptable whereas the latter is fully justified. Just when will your IMF, WB and ADB tell the GoP to bring out a surplus fiscal budget?
