"humanitarian aid" that induces dependency is not "aid".
those organizations around the world that were responsible for doling out "help" to "the needy" were managed by people who got paid. it's those institutional managers and directors who are the largest beneficiaries of "the aid" (printed US money).
if you would like to see your government print and give away more of the money they tell us we must use, then I would advise that the best way to have a positive impact would be to give DIRECTLY to the people who need, without an institutional intermediary.
literally dumping bags of money out of the air over places experiencing "need" would be a better use of the funds (in terms of helping the needy), than developing, training, and institutionalizing the managers into dependence on foreign money for their income, in these "needy" places
however, if you wanted to develop the CIA's ability to cause color revolutions, then USAID seems to have done a great job.
