English term or phrase: about whether

Ciao a tutti!

Mi dareste una mano a rendere in italiano "about whether" all'interno della frase seguente? E' chiarissimo in inglese ma crea non pochi problemi di resa, in particolare, se seguito, come in questo caso da quel "should be for...or..."

Ecco la frase completa:
"In one sense it hardly matters to a destitute Nigerian or Indian that his country has been reclassified by some distant development bank. But it raises hard questions about whether foreign aid should be for poor people or poor countries."

Grazie mille
