Aid What is aid?

Aid (also called international aid or foreign aid) is the voluntary transfer of resources from one country to another. Aid may be bilateral, given directly from one country to another, or multilateral, dispensed via international organisations such as the World Bank, IMF (see World Bank/IMF) and European Development Fund, or via charities or NGOs (non-governmental organisations) such as Oxfam, ActionAid or M?decins Sans Fronti?res. Most types of aid fall into two categories: humanitarian aid and development aid.
