Trade & International Aid Flashcards

All 6 cards in this deck

Give two ways trading relationships of LICs/NEEs have changed since independence.: They now choose their own trading partners and join regional trade blocs, and some have become major service providers rather than only raw-material suppliers.
What is tied aid?: Aid given on condition that the receiving country spends it with, or buys goods from, the donor country.
Give two positive impacts of international aid on a receiving country.: Funding for education, clean water and sewerage or disease prevention, and improvements to infrastructure or farming techniques.
True or false? All international aid benefits the receiving country.: False. Aid can be tied, lost to government corruption, or spent unwisely.
What is the difference between short-term (emergency) aid and long-term (development) aid?: Short-term aid gives immediate relief after a disaster, such as food, shelter and medical supplies. Long-term aid funds lasting improvements, such as schools, clean water or farming projects.
What is the difference between top-down and bottom-up aid projects?: Top-down projects are large-scale and planned by governments or big organisations. Bottom-up projects are small-scale and run with local communities, who help decide what is needed.
