Aid and development are (mostly) not what one would expect under the name. Some of it is great - catastrophe relieve for example.
More than 90% of it is loans and the conditions and business structures under which these are distributed is at best “soft power” and at worst just straight imperialism. Keep some of the good parts, but yeah - slash the rest.
