Where does aid money go?

Aid money, like the $670 million mentioned, is financial or material assistance given by one country to another. It's often used for development, humanitarian relief, or, as in this story, to support security and stability efforts, such as training security personnel. This helps recipient countries build capacity to tackle issues like terrorism themselves.
