Governments and individuals should pay close attention to where their aid dollars go in the Third World. Whether it's .5 percent of the GNP or .7 percent is irrelevant. Most donators want a "a good bang for their donated buck".
Government are notorious for doling out money without knowing what happens to it. That's why in Canada, we have a watchdog over government spending called "The Auditor General". Aid to poorer nations should be scrutinized in a similar way by an independent body.
Perhaps, the best way to go with foreign aid is through church charities like "World Vision". It's been around since the 1950s and its record seems good.
