Day 26: Foreign Aid. Environment: our challenges and responsibilities

Went over the worksheet yesterday on a) measuring poverty, b) the poverty trap, c) helping to improve standards of living

In class write: The poverty cycle.  If you were given money to invest in a developing country, where would you intervene in order to try and break the cycle of poverty?

Foreign aid.  CIDA.  Tied Aid.  Bilateral Aid

Very interesting!
