Explain how international aid can encourage sustainable development in a poor country(ies). (8marks) 1 level 1-3 2 level 4-5 3 level 6-8

Responses will depend on development project chosen. Although likely to be named by reference to its location, accept reference to a more generic term, e.g. irrigation scheme, building of agricultural college/educational facilities provided details given are appropriate and not too generalised. Likely responses will refer to training to provide skills that can be used on other projects in the future, improving agricultural knowledge and farming technique allowing food production in the future. Candidates should show that advantages of the development must be available for future generations. References to sustainable use of resources would also gain credit. (8 marks)

AO1 – 7 AO2 – 1 Level 1 (Basic) (1-4 marks) Simple statements on an unnamed development project with no indication of its sustainability. They built dykes. They built wells. They built schools Level 2 (Clear) (5-6 marks) Linked statements with some indication of why it could be considered sustainable. They built dykes that will protect farmland from flooding in the future. They built wells that provide water for the farm, increasing the yield and health of the people. People got an education in the schools that were built, so they could use the skills they learnt in the future. Level 3 (Detailed) (7-8 marks) May use detailed case study information. In Vietnam Oxfam worked used funds from the British government to build a sea-dyke, which stopped the sea flooding the fields and making the soil salty resulting in low rice yields. The building of the dyke as well as increasing the yield of rice taught people building skills and the new roads that were also built allowed the farmers to take the surplus rice to sell in the markets increasing their income.
