INTERNATIONAL AID

Most aid (= money, food and equipment) is given to the world’s poorest countries to help reduce poverty. Projects paid for by aid money are often aimed at improving local housing and water supply, agriculture, health and education.

Training local people is also a central part of many programs. A lot of aid money comes from governments, but many development projects are run with the help of non-governmental organizations.

The British government gives over 2 000 million pounds in aid each year to developing countries. Britain, together with other countries, is helping to reduce the debts of poorer countries and may under certain circumstances cancel these debts.

The US began giving foreign aid during World War II, when the Lend-Lease Act made it possible to give military equipment to foreign countries. The US has continued to spend large amount of money on foreign aid, but has often been criticized for the way it decides who to help. In general, money goes to poor countries that are important to the US for commercial or military reasons.

Formerly, the US gave money to countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America so that they would not accept money from the Soviet Union. In 1998 US foreign aid

а) Advantages and disadvantages of this form of business.

b)The motives to form a partnership.

c)The roles of partners.

PARTNERSHIP

1. There is a type of business organization called partnership. Partnerships are voluntary combinations from 2 to 20 persons formed for the purpose of carrying on business with a view of profit. This type of organization represents a logical development from one-person business since the obvious method by which such a firm may acquire further capital is to form a partnership. The motive, however, may not be financial and partnerships are often formed in order to bring new ability and enterprise into the business.

2.Partners usually specialize in one or more aspects of business, one may be responsible for buying, one for selling, one for production, and so on. A person who joins a partnership, supplying capital and sharing in the profits, but taking no part in the management is known as a sleeping partner. The survival of a partnership depends upon the continued harmonious relationship between a certain number of people in situations which often give much cause for disagreement. In economies where trading risks are very great, the partnership is not a very stable type of organization.

3.The advantages of this type of firm are similar to those of one-person business. It is a flexible organization which allows a greater degree of specialization than the one-person business. Since it has greater access to capital, it can achieve greater size than the sole proprietor. The great disadvantage is the fact that the liability of the partners is unlimited and they are fully liable for the acts of the other partners. There are, however, some limited partnerships. In such firms some partners may have their liability limited to some specified sum, but at least one of the partners must have unlimited liability.
