      Keywords

      • Aid - help given by one country or organisation to another, often to support development or recovery; it can be money, resources or expertise

      • Bilateral aid - aid given directly from one country to another for specific projects

      • Multilateral aid - aid from multiple countries or international organisations, like the UN or World Bank, for development

      • NGO - a Non-Governmental Organisation is a group that provides aid, often focusing on health, education or disaster relief, in LICs and NEEs

      Common misconception

      Only wealthy HICs give aid to other countries.

      Newly-emerging economies such as Indonesia, China and India also give aid to other countries, especially within their regions.

      Teacher tip

      Students could research aid provided to Indonesia following recent earthquakes by visiting the websites of organisations such as the Disasters Emergency Committee, Red Crescent, Red Cross, and ActionAid.
