Sir Jeffrey Sachs is right when he says leaders need to reconsider development aid (“A new system for development aid”, November 28). But they need to go further – and work on reconciling it with humanitarian aid while they are at it. We are witnessing the international community's widespread failure to manage humanitarian aid in fragile states to the point when development aid can kick in effectively. Nor do we see a willingness and capacity to modify long-term aid to prevent a slide into emergency conditions such as in Zimbabwe.
