Financial Aid for Bangladesh On the surface, the connection between the distribution of foreign aid and the political situation of a particular state is quite obvious. Seeing that foreign aid is traditionally meant for the people suffering from poverty, it is reasonable to send foreign aid to the areas that are affected by an economic crisis. The latter, in its turn, traditionally occurs in the states, where war is taking place. Therefore, war triggers a major increase in foreign aid supplies to the people in need. As a result, foreign aid may be misused by the government of the states that receive the financial assistance. In other words, the instances of corruption may become increasingly frequent in the states that require financial support from donors. Bangladesh is a prime example of the specified case; although the financial aid received from other countries allowed for a short economic revival of the state, corruption rates among the Bangladeshi authorities increased several times (Wig & Kolstand, 2014). Leaders’ Actions: Analysis As it has been stressed above, the Bangladeshi leaders used the money retrieved from the donors to redesign the state economy and enhance the production process. Much to the credit of the Bangladeshi government, the specified step was carried out quite successfully – according to the official statistical data, the country delivered rather impressive results in its GNI, the latter having increased by 2% in 2012 and by 9% from 2006 to 2009 (Mahmood, All & Islam, 2013). Therefore, one must admit that, despite bureaucracy and corruption, the country managed to allocate the resources made available with the help of the United States and other donors in a rather impressive manner. Seeing that a comparatively humble amount of money was donated to Bangladesh, the U.S. donations making $ 2.2 billion total (2000–2015) and the humanitarian amount reaching $87 million ( Bangladesh , 2015), the significance of foreign aid in Bangladesh is rather high. The state government, in its turn, seems to have been making a very wise use of the financial assistance provided by the United States and other countries. For instance, the fact that financing entrepreneurs was the first step undertaken by the state authorities after the financial support was retrieved (Alam & Haisna, 2013) shows that the key problems created by the war will be addressed in a proper and timely manner. Specifically, the revival of the state economy will provide opportunities for the residents to improve their financial status; as a result, the poverty issue is likely to be resolved with the help of the set of measures suggested by the state government. Indeed, by promoting the development of local SMEs, the Bangladeshi authorities will help increase the number of employment opportunities for the citizens; consequently, the issue of unemployment will no longer be of major concern for Bangladeshi. Extension of Foreign aid Despite the fact that the effects of foreign aid are admittedly vast in Bangladesh, claiming that the provision of financial support to the state that suffers a military and a political conflict is the ultimate means of salvation for the local residents will be quite a stretch. Although the poverty rates have been addressed to some e
