In 1998 net official foreign aid to Eritrea was US$135.8 million; in 2002 it reached US$217.6 million. The government of Eritrea prefers private-sector investment to official aid programs, and its relations with aid-dispensing nations and international institutions have often been difficult.
Eritrea now rejects foreign aid and aspires to be a self-reliant nation, viewing aid as a way to cripple a society.
