	Aid, Debt, Trade
		Aid, debt relief, and trade are the primary ways that poor countries are able to pay for human development: health care, education, job creation, and other services.

	A Dollar a Day :: International Aid
		The biggest success of development aid in the last few decades, however, has probably been an event now known as the ‘Green Revolution.’ This triggered a massive increase in food crop yields, improved farming methods in poor countries across the globe, and helped developing countries such as India enlarge their economy.
		International aid to improve sanitation, water quality, and agriculture has been severely cut in recent years.
		Also, many industrialized, OECD countries are far-off from their aid goal (set by the OECD countries several years ago) — to spend 0.7% of the Gross National Income on ODA by 2015 (right now, only three countries are past the mark — Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands).

	Security for aid workers - a missing link \| csmonitor.com
		Aid agencies need to begin providing appropriate security training for their representatives, but also better awareness of the situations in which they will operate.
		Key to protecting aid workers is the clear demarcation of the roles of the military and the aid organizations.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		With international âaidâ to soon reach $100 billion a year (from $60 billion), it will be the final kick in the teeth of the poor, crippling further their Third World economies.
		Such professional communicators must reject out of hand the obvious conclusions symbolized by the white elephants of international âaidâ agencies: that âaidâ is a waste of money and time, that its results are fundamentally bad, and that ---far from being increased--- it should be stopped forthwith before more damage is done.
		Despite some regrettable failures, they protest, âaidâ is justified by its successes; despite some glitches and problems, itâs essentially something that works; most important of all ---the emotional touch, the appeal to the heartstrings ---they argue with passion that âaidâ must not be stopped because the poor could not survive without it.

	Aid and Discomfort
		French aid, for instance, was given to former colonies primarily to ensure continued French influence.
		Looking solely at aid that's actually intended to stimulate the economy—including "balance of payments support, investments in infrastructure, and support for productive sectors" such as industry and agriculture—the authors found that a $1 increase in aid, on average, raised output by $1.64 in the short term.
		Far from suggesting that aid be abandoned, however, the authors suggest that donors figure out ways to reduce these adverse effects—one suggestion is to start slowly with aid inflows and then accelerate over time.

	Becoming an International Aid Worker
		Aid work is also unlike any other profession in that it is often very difficult to get your foot in the door.
		Since aid agencies’ work is global, they have truly international workforces; one competes for one’s job with intelligent, skilled, and well-motivated people from all over the world.
		If you have difficulty getting into aid work programs for medical or other reasons, study abroad or even local cross-cultural experience (for instance working with immigrant communities or teaching in a school whose students are of a different culture than your own) can be a good start.

		Those charged with setting up the MCC were drawn not from the world of international aid but from the Treasury Department and the White House budget office.
		The first CEO of the program, Paul Applegarth, was a Republican campaign contributor with limited experience in international aid, having spent his career at financial institutions such as the Bank of America, American Express and Lehman Brothers.
		In some cases, the MCC appears to be using aid to reward countries that support the president's war on terror -- even though it is not supposed to base assistance on political favoritism.

		The international community frequently demands that wealthy nations increase their development assistance to poor nations.
		Oxfam, an international aid organization, claims that 56 million children will die needlessly over the next 15 years if wealthy nations do not provide an extra $100 billion each year in aid.
		Because experience has demonstrated that aid is effective only in countries with sound economic policies, the success of this new approach should be determined by the Administration's ability to disburse development assistance to those countries that are making demonstrated improvements in economic freedom.
