When you talk to your friends, your, your family, do they actually think about foreign aid? Do they think it's worth it?

Yeah, well, I think from my studies, uh, I think it's a bit of a, a bubble here at the Graduate Institute, so we, we care about this issue naturally because of what we're studying.

So for us, foreign aid is extremely valuable, and we understand a lot of the ways that it's spent and where it goes and how the system is managed.

But I can't say that that's the same for everyone.

I would say within my own household, with my friends, particularly as, uh, in my position in the United States, a lot of people don't understand what foreign aid is needed for, where it goes, how it works.

They kind of look at their own situation and say, "Well, maybe economically I'm not doing well," or, "My country, my neighbors aren't doing well, so why are we helping others in such a way?" That's a hard bridge to cross, um, with people who have such views, um, but I understand where they're coming from.

Perhaps there's needed transparency or more awareness in foreign aid that could help them better understand the importance of it.

Jacqueline, what, um, uh, and then I'll come to you, Chris, but what do you think about that? Because certainly I suppose, and again, you, you said inside the Geneva bubble, but I-Watching just over a year ago the destruction of USAID, many people here were thinking, "How can this happen?" And I'm just wondering again, do you think there is a bigger role for the humanitarian agencies to better explain what they do, or would it have happened anyway?
