Foreign Aid

Foreign Aid refers to financial, technical, or material assistance provided by one country to another to support economic development, humanitarian relief, and various social programs. This aid can come in forms such as grants, loans, food assistance, or vaccines, and is typically intended to promote welfare, enhance infrastructure, and respond to crises or disasters in the recipient country. Foreign aid is often associated with international development efforts and can be delivered bilaterally (from one government to another) or multilaterally (through international organizations like the United Nations or World Bank). The objectives of foreign aid may include alleviating poverty, promoting economic stability, supporting democracy, and responding to emergencies. While foreign aid can be beneficial, it is sometimes debated regarding its effectiveness, potential for dependency, and influence on the political landscape of the recipient country.
