This episode of the Global Research News Hour focuses on the question of how international development is best rendered to the Global South. Roxanne Joyal of the social enterprise Me to We promotes the view that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) can partner with local communities at the grass-roots level to provide for those communities' needs. Nick Barry-Shaw co-author of Paved with Good Intentions: Canada's Development NGOs from Idealism to Imperialism expresses the view however that virtually all these NGOs are tools for foreign interests thereby ultimately undermining the interests of local communities. Prominent critic of Canadian Foreign Policy Yves Engler expands on the discussion by looking at how Canadian aid and CIDA, the development arm of the government have worked to further Canadian have ambitions abroad.
