Nellie Peyton is concern whether Liberia's change of leader will put aid flows at risk. I also believe that Liberia’s change of leader will not put aid flows at risk. The provision of foreign aid is primarily dependent on the preparedness of the aid recipient to align with the interests of the aid provider. Foreign aid is also dependent on the prevailing security, economic, trade and social conditions within the aid recipient country; the ability of the aid recipient country to make a case for aid; the ability of the aid provider to provide the aid; and the willingness of the aid recipient country to satisfy certain preconditions and to maintain certain fundamental tenets such as good governance, peace and security, human rights, press freedom, anti-corruption, etc. Foreign aid is not necessarily dependent on the competence of the head of state of the aid recipient country as Nellie asserts.
