Development aid is currently insufficient but necessary. It comes in various forms including bilateral, non-governmental, and multilateral aid that supports humanitarian, food, military, financial, and medical needs. While aid is imperfect with issues like inefficiency and corruption, it also helps fight poverty, promotes equality and environmental protection, and supports diplomacy. Improving development aid requires addressing its insufficiency while finding ways to make programs more sustainable and accountable over the long term.
