Document Summary
The providers of development assistance are referred to as donors though lenders is a more appropriate term in the cases where assistance is in the form of a loan. Bilateral aid is government-to-government aid while multilateral aid is aid channeled through multilateral organizations. It also includes administrative costs, such as the costs of maintaining aid agency offices and the salaries of staff both at home and abroad. Most industrialized countries that provide aid belong to a donors" club called the development. Assistance committee (dac) of that organization for economic co-operation and development (oecd), constitute 95% of the global oda (not development aid) To simply help the less fortunate abroad, just as social assistance provides assistance to people at home, Oda focuses on helping people in other countries meet their basic necessities and find opportunities. Can be motivated by charity, by religious believes or by solidarity (framing actors and recipient country as equal partners)
