"African voices are still suppressed in the discussion of African disasters. In 2005, I wrote a critique of Bob Geldof and Live Aid, which focused on how their intervention could not be separated from neoliberal capitalist assault on African peoples." Patricia Daley
Another 21st century transformation in the aid architecture is the emergence of military development or humanitarianism.
While as military equipment has been around since the Second World War, the possibility of militaries themselves becoming aid actors emerged as a feature of the restructuring of Global North aid in the post-war Cold War, and during the period of civil war in 1990s and the 2000s War on Terror.

On August 14, more than 100 aid organisations, including prominent groups such as Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Amnesty International, and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), condemned Israels weaponisation of aid, saying it was obstructing life-saving assistance from entering Gaza.

To be fair, my experience was mainly with the humanitarian side of USAID (OFDA, before it merged with Food for Peace to become the Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs), so it was at least trying to respond humanitarian crises based on need, per the fundamental . I also collaborated with their Global Development Lab (a sort-of aid IT incubator), which was great.
On the development-aid side, on the other hand, nearly all rich countries use aid to at least some extent as an extension of foreign policy, rewarding friends, punishing foes, and buying favours/influence. I'm sure USAID was no different than, say, Global Affairs Canada, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, or the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office in that regard.
