    2. There are 3 types of aid.

    Bilateral aid : development assistance given by a government directly to the government of another country.

    Multilateral aid : assistance provided by governments through international agencies.

    Non Government aid : all forms of aid provided by non government organisations.

    3. The governments and NGO’s are Care Australia, Aus aid, Oxfam and Austcare

    Aus aid role is to improve the living of millions of people in developing countries.

    Care Australia’s role is to focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change in their communities.

    Oxfam’s role is to help people living in poverty to give them skills and resources to help create they own solutions to poverty.

    Austcare’s role is to work with people in poor countries to give them power and resources to change their own lives.

    4. When PNG became a independent nation in 1975, Australia continued strong aid ties, both government and from NGOs. Under the terms of the treaty on development cooperation Australia agreed to maintain a large bilateral donor.

    Australia had agreed to help out not just PNG but lots of its neighbours that are developing countries to assist with large bilateral effort and accounting for about one fifth of its total aid program.

  3. i dont know what to do so ill do my best,
    *bilateral aid*-This type of aid is from one country to another. An example would be Britain giving money and sending experts to help build a dam in Turkey. Quite often bilateral aid is also tied Aid.
    *multilateral aid*-Here organisations that involve many countries, give help. This aid is run by groups such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
    *international aid*-International aid, despite the literal meaning of the words, does not
    imply a "a benevolent donation given to poor countries by generous,
    rich nations so that the former can meet primary needs of its
    citizens

  4. international aid is a program developed by wealthy countries to help other countries that are copping poverty and deseases.

    There are 5 types of Aids
    Voluntary Aid
    Bilateral Aid
    Multilateral Aid
    Large Scale Aid
    Emergency Aid


    PNG is an independant country, so Australia is doing its best to reduce poverty in PNG

    Since Australia has been helping PNG, the number of deceases and pverty has reduced alot and PNG is a good place now.

  6. 1. International aid is giving resources to those in need in other countries, especially in regards to the poor/homeless and those affected by recent natural disasters.

    2. There are 3 main types of aid, bilateral, multilateral and non-government aid. Bilateral is when one country gives their help directly to another country's government.
    Multilateral is when there's two or more countries involved in supplying aid to their governments
    Non-Government aid is all types of aid is given by a non-government organization.

    3. Government organizations are run by/funded by the government to help others. An example is AusAID which helps PNG with things like education.
    NGO's are non-government organizations that are independent and get their money off of donations

    4. Australia is involved in a number of treaties. One of them is the PNG-Australia one. When PNG became an independent country, Australia continued to help them and signed a treaty stating that Australia would help develop their country.

    5. In conclusion Australia has strong ties with many countries such as PNG in regards to helping them develop, this may allow future jobs for Australians in those countries, and even military links
