Background of the Study:
Foreign aid has long been a catalyst for community development, providing much-needed resources and expertise to drive social and economic progress. In Onitsha North, community development projects have benefitted from international assistance aimed at improving education, healthcare, and infrastructure (Nwachukwu, 2023). Such aid often complements local efforts, bridging funding gaps and introducing innovative practices (Okoro, 2024). Nonetheless, challenges such as aid dependency, mismanagement, and mismatches between donor priorities and local needs have been reported (Uche, 2025). Recent studies suggest that the effectiveness of foreign aid hinges on robust accountability mechanisms and community participation to ensure sustainable development (Chima, 2023). This research examines the impact of foreign aid on local development projects in Onitsha North, assessing both the benefits and the constraints associated with aid interventions.
Statement of the Problem:
Although foreign aid contributes to community development in Onitsha North, challenges related to dependency, mismanagement, and inadequate alignment with local priorities persist. These issues undermine the long-term benefits of aid, warranting a critical evaluation of its impact and operational effectiveness (Ebele, 2024).
