The United Nations have identified around 50 countries around the globe which can be categorised as poor developing nations due to their sub-standard quality of essential public services
such
as health, education, transport etc. These nations must strive to improve the quality of its public services and
advance
developed nations like US, UK and France play an important role in aiding these developing nations to raise their standard of living.
This
would not only help the developing

, but will
also
help the richer

However
, many criticise their governments for financially helping the poorer countries stating that it would
to increased
corruption
in the developing economies. In my opinion, the richer countries should help
countries in improving its basic public services as it is beneficial for both.
On one hand, people belonging to the
first
world
state that the financial help provide to these
under developedrelating to societies in which capital needed to industrialize is in short supply
countries, to improve their infrastructure, would be misused by the public of that
country
.
This
misuse would mainly arise because of the
corruption
in the
country
, as much its population is illiterate.
For example
, the
World
Bank recently published their report on the causes of
corruption
in a
country
, listed low illiteracy rate and instable coalition governments as the top reasons.
Secondly
, the governments of
countries may face an uproar from its citizen as they would be spending their

money on other countries rather than spending it on its own people. In a recent event, the Indian Government faced back slash from its countrymen, when the authorities decided to invest 0.5% of their GDP in developing infrastructure
Congo and African countries.
On the other hand
, helping the poorer countries has benefits of its own. One of the advantages for the developed
nation
in aiding these countries is that it would help project a better image of itself at an international level. Other richer countries of the globe would appreciate the kind of aid they provide to these under developed nations and help emerge as a
world
leader.
Secondly
, these
under developedrelating to societies in which capital needed to industrialize is in short supply
countries, due to
unhygienic
and below standard living conditions, can become sources of new diseases.
Hence
, when an
nation
in improving the medical facilities of that
country
, it
also
has an opportunity to research about these deadly
.
This
would be beneficial not only for the developing nations, but
also
for the
advance
nation
as they would be in a better position to protect its citizen if any outbreak occurs.
For example
, since the US had already
its medical facilities and research centre in African countries, the outbreak of Ebola was effectively contained within
and a cure for the disease was developed and distributed around the
world
.
Thus
, helping the developing
country
in improving their public service infrastructure helps the richer
nation
to project itself as a
world
leader, while

as increased

advance
countries of the
world
should help the developing countries
