YES
Financial beneficence from the developed countries could help poor countries acceleratedly construct infrastructure and build more houses.
When some rich countries donate large sums of money to those needy countries, more job opportunities could be created and thus living standards of people in those countries could be enhanced.
In 1999, only 50 percent of Tanzania’s children went to primary school. Now the figure is over 90 percent. There are similar stories in Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and other African countries. How did this happen? Because the elected government of Tanzania chose to expand educational opportunities by using the donation from developed countries.
NO
Financial aid might make needy countries become over-dependent on the donors because money can only solve temporary problems.
International aid might bring about political interference and economic exploitation. If poor countries want to become richer with the help of rich countries, a condition they must accept is to buy goods from the donors. As a matter of fact, the countries that benefit the most are not the poor countries but the rich ones.
Concerns about the weaknesses of poor countries’ government systems for budgeting and accounting have led some donors to resist providing aid to them.

答案 My View on Financial Aid for Poor Countries The role of foreign financial aid in the growth process of poor countries has always been a topic of intense debate. It is believed that financial aid is the best way to help poor countries since it can benefit the poverty-stricken nations directly in infrastructure construction, primary education, employment and so on. Although the economic assistance contributes greatly to the poverty reduction of recipients, it may inevitably bring about many negative impacts, such as political interference and economic exploitation. As I see it, financial aid is indeed effective, but it is not applicable to every beneficiary country. For one thing, donor money can resume economic operation and stabilize the national economy in war-ravaged countries, but it’s not a long lasting approach for countries at peace to solve problems and sustain a healthy development. For another, there are other forms of aids that developed countries can provide for needy countries. For instance, volunteer teachers can be sent to improve local education, which has a far-reaching impact on the development of those countries. In short, international aid shouldn’t only be about satisfying the poor countries’ financial demands in the short run, it should aim at promoting their healthy development in the long term.
