des sommes très importantes (de très grosses sommes) d'aides secondaires au développement


Explanation:
Juridiquement, amounts = sommes, montants ; small = faible, secondaire
Increase peut se traduire également par développement
Quand on parle de sommes ou montants, large peut se traduire par importantes, grosses.
Avec l'aide du lexique juridique français - anglais du Conseil de l'Europe
Ici les sommes destinées et dédiées à de petites aides au développement sont détournées vers l'Irak et l'Afghanistan sous la pression du gouverneemnt américain.
