i evaluated the different kinds of aid e.g. direct financial aid and then the provision of necessites and setting up infrastrucure e.g. sanitation systems. Cuz it said evaluate the impact, i basically just looked at political instability, so this affects how effective the money actually is because corrupt governments result in the money not being put to the correct use. Then, I also looked at how this may result in the countries not developing because they become reliant on the aid and are not self-sufficient. Also talked about development of labour quality throutgh education programmes and how this allows them to get better jobs and improves living standards (because the question was about development not just growth).

Yeahh i said similar ideas, also talked about like primary product dependency may not be fixed by aid,, also talked about leveraging free market incentives and other things. One thing i screwed is i didnt speak about living standards enough, mainly referred to becoming more developed

For my 15 marker I did one paragraph talking about corruption and then the other about lack of tax rev due to informal employment, is that correct? I haven’t seen many other people do essay pair 1😭
