Poor countries are those countries that are unable to achieve their basic necessities.Essential requirnments are food,clothing and shelter.This trigon is given by Karl marks. If one looks over the map of the world,around 1/4 of the population is living under the line of poverty.If a person earns less than one dollar a day then he is under the line of poverty.
Poverty is stimulated due to unemployment, unfair distribution of wealth,lack of education etc.All these factors are caused due to lack of administration;moreover, due to poor ruling system.
Foreign aid can be defined as,the international transfer of goods,services from a country or international organization for the benefit of the recipient counary.
Foreign aid has been helping countries like Phillipine,Africa, Pakistan in establishing mega projects. It helps to bring stability in the status of a country.Many countries flurished in fields like education, agriculture and industries due to foreign aid.
But like two sides of a coin it also have an other,a negative side too.International aid can increase dependence;furthermore, the recipients become lethargic. At the time of colonization when England established various companies for the reformation of habitats of remote areas all over the world.It is also a type of aid to make them civilized. A company was established in African area Congo.The white authorities instead of civilizaing them started to treat them in the most inhuman manner.Their brutality is clearly demonstrated by Joseph Conrad in his novel “heart of darkness”.Beside this I am not denying that foreign aid plays a cardinal role in the progress of a country.
I would like to mention my own country pakistan. It is an underdeveloped country.pakistan also take aids from devolved countries like America,China etc.It has been taking grants for long periods of time but still majority is living in same sorry state.It is because of the unfair distribution of wealth.There is a proverb “Power does not corrupt,people corrupt power”same the case is levied on aid.
To conclude this topic I can say that extraneous aids could play a significant role in the progress of a country,if there is a proper check and balance on the authorities. If it is stoped the country would blighted.
