L.O. to remind yourselves about the different types of aid

On your sheet you have a number of advantages and disadvantages of development. Decide what type of aid project they are and how they are sustainable or not

L.O. to remind yourselves about the different types of aid

You each have 4 different places that either we have studied or are prominent in the news at the moment (and therefore, if you are good geographers, you should know

something about).

For each of the places you have a diamond 9 with the same possible methods of helping the people in each of

these places achieve sustainable development.

Think carefully about • which type of aid (tied, voluntary, bilateral,

emergency, multilateral) each method is,• what people really need at the moment,• whether each method is long term or short term,• what people really need for the future,• who ultimately benefits from each method.
