Gabriel Gianordoli created this elucidating info graphic which shows the top development aid donors (green) and recipients (orange). What’s interesting to me is that even if you take out blatant war-related spending for Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. still provides more than 30% more than the next highest donor (Germany).
A more telling statistic might be a GDP/capita figure – traditionally the Nordic countries give the greatest percentage of their GDP towards development and aid.

Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
