Types of Aid

• Voluntary Aid • Bilateral Aid • Multilateral Aid • Tied Aid • Emergency Aid • Aid can also be broken into long and short term

aid

?

• also known as charity aid. • money collected by agencies such as Oxfam

and ActionAid• spent on a variety of different schemes. • goes towards long term development, for

example in training farmers in efficient farming techniques that also prevent soil erosion

• campaigns to collect funds and provide emergency aid after a disaster, for example, flooding in Mozambique.

?

• means "two sides".

• from one country to another.

• example would be Britain giving money and sending experts to help build a dam in Turkey.

• often is also tied aid.

?

• the giving (or donor) country also benefits economically from the aid.

• the receiving country has to buy goods and services from the donor country to get the aid in the first place.

• In building a dam, for example, the donor may insist that their companies, experts and equipment are used.

• Whether the aid is given may depend on the receiving country agreeing to buy e.g. military jets from the donor.

• Some people believe that this type of aid can be harmful if it supports governments that oppress their people.

?

• means "many sides".

• organisations that involve many countries give help.

• run by groups such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) - both of which are part of the UN.

?

• after a natural disaster such as an earthquake or flood, help is needed straight away.

• includes food, clean water, shelter, medicines and the staff to organise these materials.

• not useful for long term aid as local farmers and business people would not be able to compete with the free handouts and so the local economy would be damaged.
