Aid Talks Co-hosted by Aid/Watch Australia and the Reality of Aid – Asia Pacific (RoA-AP). Aid Talks aims to inform the public on how the Official Development Assistance (ODA), commonly known as aid provided by donor countries to developing nations and fragile states, is being utilized as ‘aid investment’ redirected to support private sector players and narrow security priorities over reducing inequality and poverty. In early 2020 Aid Talks started as a webinar series, in 2023 we have moved to the Aid Talks podcast.
