Foreign Aid & The Poor Countries

To accept foreign aid is the question of people’s livelihood and country’s dignity. For a developing country like ours to accept foreign aid is significant than to country’s dignity. Foreign aid plays a vital role for the economic development of our country.

Developing countries often face various problems such as starvation, infectious disease, natural disasters and so on. The government alone cannot solve all these problems. In such circumstance, foreign aid can play a crucial role to save people’s lives.

In addition, foreign aid is also necessary to develop the infrastructures related with people’s daily life in the developing countries. For example, in constructing roads, bridges power stations and some other projects. It enables poor countries to do a lot of things without any expense. Furthermore it provides a certain amount of job opportunities for the jobless people. However, dependency on foreign aid for development and other activities is not a good sign for a country.
