Development aid (also development assistance, international aid, overseas aid or
foreign aid) is
aid given by governmental and economic agencies to support the economic, social and political
development of
developing countries. Development aid may come from
developed or developing country governments as well as from international organizations such as the
World Bank. It is distinguished from
humanitarian aid as being aimed at alleviating poverty in the long term, rather than alleviating suffering in the short term (Foreign aid, on the other hand, includes both development aid and humanitarian aid. Some governments include military assistance in the notion "foreign aid", although many
NGOs tend to disapprove of this).
