Americans in general believe that the US gives about <em>25%<\/em> of its budget to international aid <em>and<\/em> that the portion should be closer to <em>10%<\/em> of the federal budget. In reality, the US sends about <em>1%<\/em> of its budget overseas. If Americans are confused about the amount of international aid, we may be even more unclear on the <em>how<\/em> and, importantly, the <em>why<\/em> of international aid. Where does the money go? What role do businesses and other organizations play? And why is international aid even more important in the age of COVID-19?<\/p>\n<p>In this episode of ELCA World Hunger&#8217;s Hunger Policy Podcast, Patricia Kisare, international policy advisor for the ELCA, and Kaari Reierson, the ELCA&#8217;s associate for corporate social responsibility, join Ryan Cumming, the program director for hunger education, to break down some of the myths and realities about US aid and the church&#8217;s witness when it comes to this part of the federal budget. Patricia and Kaari also share a <a href=\"https:\/\/download.elca.org\/ELCA Resource Repository\/2105internationalaid.pdf\">new resource they have put together to help congregations learn more about international aid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, watch the video below, listen to the audio or read the transcript to learn more about this important part of public policy.<\/p>\n<p>Download the new resource on International Aid <a href=\"https:\/\/download.elca.org\/ELCA Resource Repository\/2105internationalaid.pdf\">here<\/a>.
