        • access to housing
          • people end up in slums (more than 30% of the world)
        • health
          • more stress on services and people cant get the help they need
    • international strategies
      • debt relief
        • poorer countries struggle to pay back= world bank organised HIPC to reduce amount owed = income can be helped to improve residents lives
      • inter-governmental agreements
        •  agreements such as removing trade barriers/ commitments to fund improvements in specific parts of the world
          • complex with "strings attached" but can reduce development gap
      • fair trade
        • retailers get fairer prices for prodcuts = makes up less than 1% of world trade
    • top down vs bottom up
      • top down development
        • through government
          • can benefit thousands of people.         access to world leading experts
          • funding can come with "strings attached"      many locals dont benefit
      • bottom up development
        • NGOs through communities
          • targeted at specific needs of local people
          • small scale so promotion of development is slow
