21. 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

22. 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.

23. 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.
