U.S. International Aid

The complex dynamics of international aid highlight both its potential benefits and inherent challenges. While aid is often provided to address poverty and respond to natural disasters, it can also lead to increased dependency and foreign debt for the receiving countries.

U.S International Aid

Tries to exploit receiving country

Exploitation by Donor countries
Globalise the world

Making world relationships better.

Nations tend to be stronger when united with other countries.

Discourage domestic agriculture output.

So the rich country can sell their own product

Dependent of imported raw material from donor country.

Rich countries make money because their products are in demand.

Negative consequences of aid
Aid is wasted on countries that have no technical or administrative ability to use the aid properly.

Countries that receive aid, typically doesnt have the administration.

When countries need aid they

Countries receiving aid have less control and decision making on how the aid money is spent.

The rich countries who supplies the money has final say basically.

Which makes sense because the rich country is supplying the aid.

motivation of donor countries
Rich nations use aid as a lever to open the poor country's door to sell rich nations products

Countries make agreements if they loan their money, like maybe making the poor country buy the rich countries goods.

Promotes domestic interest of donor countries

People in the poor country may invest once they see the country doing well.

Aid is used as a lever to impose structural adjustment

Proactive pursuit of strategic interests.

Tackle poverty on ethical grounds

Increase dependency

Dependence of foreign loan
Aid also covers natural disaster, not just poverty.

Natural disasters statistics increase each year.

Natural disasters are eaerthquakes, floods, cyclones, volcanic eruptions, etc.

Increase in Foreign debt services
Donor country can burden the receiving country by adding interest to what needs to be paid.

By adding interest to the country to pay back, makes them less likely to depend on the rich country.

Not adding interest onto the loaned money, could make the poor country always expect help.

Corrupt our government

countries fight for aid
Rich countries rarely meet this target.

The 0.7% target is hard to reach.

Some countries end up 150 billion short each year.

Its more often now adays that countries dont reach the target.

Official Developmental Assistance hasnt reach 0.7% annually.

0.7% percent is supposed to come out of the Gross National Income.
