Multilateral Aid And Non Government Aid

Foreign aid aims to reduce poverty and create sustainable economic growth and development in the Indo-Pacific regions whilst promoting Australia’s national interests. Australian aid helps to provide access to safe drinking water for 2.9 million more people and enable 1.4 million more children to enrol in school.

Vietnam is known for many things such as their culture, traditions, cuisines, landscape, war, and their people. Vietnam includes many different landforms as well. Vietnam’s absolute location is 14.0583 N and 108.2772 E. As for its relative location it is surrounded by three countries and the Pacific Ocean, the three countries surrounding Vietnam is Cambodia and Loas to the West, while China is to the North. Some physical features of Vietnam are the Red River Delta that is fronted by the hills that rise into the high mountains in the Northwest, the coastal lowlands and the Mekong River Delta in the Southern regions, and the Annam Highlands which covers up most of the central landscape. About twenty percent of low-lands covers the country.

Some of the main reasons why Australia provides foreign aid is to increase advanced systems and technology in other countries, decrease poverty, make other countries more stable generally and financially, etc. Some government and non-government organization like Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), AusAID, World vision, Red cross, etc. also help provide foreign aid to other countries. Australia’s 10 main focus points and the status of achievement for some of the following in providing aid to other countries are towards the following:

There are two main perspectives on foreign aid in Australia – are we giving too much or not enough? Foreign aid is given to developing countries, and is necessary to build an environment where policies and infrastructure can be in place to support other sources of finance. Australia is part of the worldwide foreign aid commitment as we value that everyone should have a fair go, and the country plans to give $3.9 billion over 2017 and 2018. We help countries in need by contributing, food, resources, providing financial assistance, exchanging goods, personal time and knowledge. The main types of aid are humanitarian aid, which is disaster relief and emergency aid and development aid, which is a long-term commitment between nations. Australian aid is strongly on development aid particularly focused on the Asia-Pacific region, but it also has a strong commitment to African and South Asia. Interestingly, 90% of Australia’s foreign aid goes to Asia-Pacific countries such as Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, because if they build into a developed nation, then we can build trade relations, regional security and partner in defence. This is a polarizing issue that divides the nation due to different views on Australia giving aid, however, a strong foreign aid program is vital for Australia to build successful relations and regional security.

Vietnam is a country in Southeast Asia that is bordered by China, the Gulf of Thailand, the China Sea, Laos and Cambodia. Vietnam is the location of the Vietnam War which started as a conflict between the Communists of North Vietnam and the non-Communists of South Vietnam. The Vietnam War was “…a manifestation of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies.” U.S. President Harry S. Truman involved the United States in the war in an effort to stop the spread of Communism. “[It was] America’s longest and most unpopular war. It failed to achieve either of its two objectives – to defend a small, strategically unimportant country against what was seen as Communist aggression and to sustain America’s credibility as an ally in the [C]old [W]ar.” The Vietnam War lasted 18 years, 5 U.S. Presidents, and saw the U.S. military fight Communist forces that used new warfare tactics

As mentioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia’s Aid program works in, “promoting prosperity, reducing poverty and enhancing stability”. Cuts in the foreign aid budget will not only affect the countries around us, but also Australia. Through Australia’s ongoing support to developing countries by AusAID (Australian Agency for International Development), we have strengthened our countries political stability and security by creating close ties with other nations. Australia donates around AU$5 billion each year to aiding the developing countries around us, particularly nations located in the Asia Pacific Region. By doing this we have improved their economies, bringing peace to these countries.

Along with New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Singapore, Australia is party to the Five Power Defence Arrangements, a regional defence agreement. A founding member country of the United Nations, Australia is strongly committed to multilateralism and maintains an international aid program which supports around 60 countries today, quite amazing right?Calculations made during 2005-2006 shows that Australia is giving about A$2.5 billion every year to developing countries. Australia ranks 15th overall in the Center for Global Development's 2012 Commitment to Development Index.

Other then our close links in government, defence, education and trade we also supply a sufficient amount of money, approximately $542.5 million this year in aid funding. However in the recent years the Australian government has become less and less inclining to raise or even sustain the amount that we supply to Indonesia and its counterparts in Asia. This would make Australia’s aid spending as a proportion of our national income is at it’s lowest point since 1954 when we began graphing our “generosity”

Providing aid to developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region allows the countries to develop politically and economically, helping the region prosper, and therefore improve Australia’s personal security. The aid provided by Australia helps developing countries to stabilise their situation

Vietnam is located in Southeastern Asia and outskirts the Gulf of Thailand, the South China Sea. The latitude and longitude of Vietnam is 16° 0' N and 106° 0' E. The total range, which falls under the latitude and longitude of Vietnam is 329,560 SQ. km. Vietnam is somewhat bigger than New Mexico and has a coastline of 3,444sq km, which does exclude the Islands. The atmosphere of Vietnam reaches from being tropical in the north, to blustery in the northern part (longitude and latitude in Vietnam, 2017).

Vietnam, or Viet Nam, is a Southeast Asian country located on the South China sea. It was formerly a colony of the French, and still, has a lot of French landmarks and food. It is a communist country that used to be split in two, Southern Vietnam supporting Capitalism, and Northern Vietnam supporting communism before the Vietnamese War straightened everything out.

In our economical national interest, Australia allocates a sector to contribute significantly by providing aid and financial support to promote the stability of a variety of countries within the Indo-Pacific. Within 2016 to 2017, 90% of Australia’s aid will directly go to the

There so much said and written about foreign aid that it has become difficult to justify its effectiveness. But if we look at the overall picture in the eye of citizens of a developing country, an honest assessment might conclude that progress has been made. Though, profound social disparities and extreme poverty are still lurking in some parts of this fragile planet.

Vietnamese cuisine can be very diverse due its geography and climate. There is no accurate average temperature for the whole country. The Vietnamese national culture emerged from a concrete living environment: a tropical country with many rivers and the confluence of great cultures (Vietnam Country). Vietnam is a long, narrow country in Southeast of Asia that borders south China, east of Laos and Cambodia. Vietnam is practically the size of Italy and Japan put together; and is divided into three regions: north, central, and south.

Most of the developing countries are mired deeply in economical obstacles, which prevent them from development significantly. In order to overcome those embarrassments world’s society struggles to find the efficient solution for poor countries’ economies. Historically, developed countries undertook policy of giving aid to their colonies, afterwards by the end of The Second World War the United States and United Nations embarked the global sponsorship to the developing countries and countries of the Third World due to humanitarian considerations. Since then many other countries have joined in the effort to provide financial aid to lesser developed or poverty ridden countries. But none of those countries that received an aid had experienced a prosperity phase and rapid economic growth.
