When one country provides resources to another.
If conditions are attached, loans that can only be spent on the resources or services of the donor
country, it is called tied aid.
In 1991 the UK provided £234 million pounds of funding for the Pergau River Dam in Malaysia, in return Malaysia spent £1 billion on British arms.
Tied aid is now illegal in the UK.
Donations are pooled from a number of
countries and distributed through
an international organisation, such as
the World Bank.
This may also be conditional. The
World Bank usually requires market
liberalisation in return for development
loans.
