That says it all. Fix your governments first. Aid to Zimbabwe, which was a food exporter until recently, makes no sense whatsoever with Robert Mugabe running the country.
As an example of what can be done, recall the so-called "Point 4" program during the Truman administration.
Truman promised what is now known as the Third World with aid and food under the caveat that they also had to learn and apply modern agricultural methods -- a program that was spearheaded by our land-grant colleges.
Accordingly, the Ag School at my alma mater, Oklahoma A&M (at the time), formed a relationship with Ethiopia around 1950. Okie State set up and helped staff what became known as "Ethiopia A&M", while also starting a network of experimental farms and a nationwide extension service.
By 1960, just ten years later, hunger had largely disappeared and Ethiopia was a net food exporter!.
This success was followed by a Marxist revolution...and Ethiopians have been starving ever since.
In today's political climate, this approach would never work, of course. It involves a presumption that the U.S. system of agriculture and capitalism is superior to the indigenous methods...and that would be "judgmental", would it not?
And these tinpot dictators don't want practical assistance, anyway. They want cash! Like Democrats, they've no interest in solving the issue, only in prolonging their stay in the welfare line.
