1. The Question
Many of the world’s least developed countries are located in
Sub-Saharan Africa, the region south of the Sahara desert. According
to the United Nations, least developed countries (LDCs) are “the poorest
countries in the world with the greatest
need of assistance.”
Governments of developed countries that can meet
the needs of their own people often provide
official development assistance (ODA) to the
world’s poorest countries. ODA and
private charitable donations are used to improve the quality of life for people in these countries.
Some people think
that the United States, one of the
wealthiest and most developed countries in the world, should give more financial aid to the LDCs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
