Band 7

Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#countries #money #poverty #aid
In
this
 present time, the provision of financial aid by developed
countries
 is an inevitable topic. There are few groups that postulate that other types of help are needed to combat poverty. I vehemently agree with
this
 given statement.
This
 essay will expound my
point
 of view and give credible examples. First of all, the most discernible
point
 of consideration is that underdeveloped
countries
 receiving financial assistance will become dependent on these rich
countries
. To clarify properly, these poor
countries
 will not strive to improve their economy because they know help will come. An optimal example of
this
 is the country of South Africa. The majority of their population is suffering from famine with children dying from malnutrition.
Instead
 of giving financial assistance, aid could be in the form of improving their agricultural infrastructures to help the people grow crops and with

 the government can provide food for their people. Another
point
that is
 paramount in my belief is the national or domestic conflict that will result if there will be an uneven or questionable use of monetary aid. No one can deny that these situations are unavoidable and
instead
 of uniting the nation,
this
 will just create problems for the government to face. Another
point
 worth considering is that these developed
countries
 will soon ask for favours in return for the financial assistance that they have given.
For instance
, they will seek sea exploration for their projects and it will be too late to realise that they are now exploiting the marine resources of the country. In conclusion, giving financial support to underdeveloped
countries
 will not help with the nations' problems
such
 as poverty but will just create additional problems. In my opinion, helping is not at all discouraging,
however
, there are other means to help aside from monetary ways.
