  2. Aid Aim: * Identify the three main types of aid which are given to developing countries.

  3. Aid Aid is help given by a country or organisation to another country to help meet its needs. A country which givesaid is called a DONOR country. A country which receives aid is called a RECIPIENT country.

  4. Types of Aid Bilateral Aid Aid given by one country to another country. Multi-lateral Aid Aid which is given by a group of countries working together e.g. United Nations, European Union. Voluntary Aid Aid which is given by voluntary organisations or charities e.g. Oxfam, Water Aid.

  5. Types of Aid Activities: • Study the diagram on Types of Aid on page 14. • Complete question 1 from the Activities on page 15. • Make sure you take two lines for each type of aid.

  6. Bilateral Aid Aims: • Examine the advantages and disadvantages of tied aid. • Identify the social, political and economic factors which determine whether a developed country will give aid

  7. Tied Aid • When bilateral aid is given, there are usually conditions or ‘strings’ attached. • This type of bilateral aid is known as ‘tied aid’ or ‘boomerang’ aid. • This is because the aid returns to the donor country in a way which benefits them.

  8. Tied Aid • ADVANTAGES: • Provides financial help to a developing countries • Buying goods and services from the donor country helps to create jobs. • Aid will not be wasted on weapons or useless projects. • Both sides benefit from tied aid. • Opportunity to help a friendly/democratic country. • Prestige for donor country • DISADVANTAGES: • Recipient country could buy cheaper/better quality goods in another country • Helps the donor country more than the recipient • Gives the donor country power over the recipient. • Type of aid given may not be appropriate to needs of the country.

  9. Why Do Countries Give Aid? Social Factors • Which countries are the poorest? • Who needs our help most? • Are they facing a major humanitarian crisis and lives are at risk e.g. famine, floods?

  10. Why Do Countries Give Aid? Economic Factors • How is our economy doing – can we afford to help? • Can they pay back a loan? • Do they have natural resources e.g. metals that we could gain in return?

  11. Why Do Countries Give Aid? Political Factors Is the country democratic or ruled by a dictator? Is the country at war and it’s too dangerous to send aid? Is the country hostile to our allies (friendly countries)? Is the country unpopular with voters?
