Poverty TrapLocal: poor farmers need to have more children
= more mouths to feed= children have limited access to school, so they will walk in their parents footsteps
Large-Scale: Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC’s)= use foreign aid money to pay off foreign debts
(essentially paying off interest)= economy is focused on exports & cash crops (to get
cash to pay off debt) instead of sustainability= The need for cash overrules any concern about the
environment; a polluted environment leads to lower life expectancy and decreased economic output

Types of Foreign Aid• Bilateral aid – financial aid given directly to a
government from another government– Example: CIDA (Canadian International Development
Agency)
• Multilateral aid – financial aid given to a government from many other governments.– Examples: United Nations, World Bank, IMF
• NGO’s – financial aid provided to countries from non governmental organizations.– Examples: Oxfam, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders,
Amnesty International (human rights)

and accountably to achieve meaningful, sustainable results.

Problems with Foreign Aid• ***Tied Aid – lending governments attach
conditions to aid being given.– Example: The lending country makes sure the
borrowing country must buy goods from the lending country in the future if they get a loan
• Massive Debt – many countries are forced into paying off the huge loan payments instead of putting the money to good use. (HIPC’s)
• Corrupt governments – When loan money goes to poor nations, the money doesn’t always go where it is needed, but rather to the leaders of the country
