Netherlands 'does most for poor'

[muriel_volestrangler]

The Netherlands is the rich nation which does the most to improve lives in developing countries, a Center for Global Development (CGD) report says.
...
The CGD's measures a broad number of factors for the index, rather than merely the amount of aid countries provide.

It also examines several policy areas - such as trade investment migration and environment - while aid is measured not only in terms of quantity but as a share of its income and the quality of aid given.
...
America was also criticised for its handling of aid in Iraq with the CGD claiming that 90 cents in every dollar was lost to violence and corruption.
