Some say that the best way to help poor countries is financial aids. Other say other forms of aid should be given. Discuss both views and give your opinion

There is currently a contentious argument over whether advanced countries should provide other types of

aid

asides monetary

aid

to emerging countries to permanently tackle the problem of

poverty

.

This

essay agrees that other forms of

aid

should be provided to developing countries because funds provided for

this

purpose are mismanaged and monetary

aid

will not provide long-term solutions to the menace

poverty

. The most important consideration for agreeing that advanced countries should provide other forms of

aid

asides financial

aid

is that these grants are poorly managed by the receiving governments and usually do not get to be used for the primary care intent for which they were provided.

This

sadly can be attributed to corruption and greed on the part of the officials saddled with the responsibility of administering these funds, corrupt officials in connivance with politicians tend to divert these funds for personal use. By embezzling these monies, the common man suffers and

poverty

thrives in these societies. A report in 2015 by Cable News Network (CNN) a well known news agency revealed that all funds provided to the Ghanaian government by the Act of kindness program, an initiative of the United Nations (UN) were embezzled by the Minister of finance and some other officials. Another reason why I support that advanced countries should provide other forms of assistance asides financial

aid

to poorer countries is that I believe

this

will not provide a lasting solution to the issue of

poverty

and permanently alleviate

world countries from

this

deplorable state. A popular saying goes

Accept comma addition

conclusion, I

completely agree that developed countries should provide other forms of help to developing countries because giving money alone as

aid

will only result in short term solutions and bolster corruption amongst the elite class through diversion of funds and mismanagement. Given

this

situation, I recommend that developed nations look to other means through which they can provide help to emerging countries.
