GLOBAL AID FOR DEVELOPMENT IS A CHIMERA -
IT BRINGS NO SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE
SYNOPSIS:
FOR THE MOTION:
Global aid has helped various countries in refurbishment of their tainted social infrastructure. Case being of India and sub-continent and Africa. Monetary aid and development assistance not only helps a country in technological leap-frogging but also introduces them to globally practiced modus operandi. It’s because of Global aid that many African and Asian countries (including countries that are frequently hit by natural disaster) get change to stand back on their feet.
AGAINST THE MOTION:
Most of the time these global aids find its way into middlemen and administrator coffers. Moreover, countries/institutions design and craft the contracts in a manner that allows the host countries an entry into the helping country’s market and political system (eg: US to Pak/afghan).
