The table illustrates the changes in the value of monetary aid given by the USA, the EU and other countries to developing nations, as well as the fluctuations in the total amount of money given from 2006 to 2010, measured in dollars.
Overall, it was evident that the United States was the largest donator, as the monetary aid values given by the United States were consistently much more significant than the two other categories’ overall monetary aid values combined, and therefore made up the majority of the total monetary aid value. Furthermore, the figures of all three categories also showed an upward trend, which made the total money aid rose in value.
Specifically, the US donated 9.8 million dollars to developing nations in 2006, a figure that rose to 11 million in 2007. The figure then increased to 17 million in 2008, but dropped slightly to 16.7 million in 2009. Afterwards, it rose back to 20.3 million in 2010. These changes bore significant impacts to the total value of money given to developing countries, as the figure mirrored the United States’ monetary aid fluctuations, which increased from 15.7 million dollars to 17.6 million in 2007, which significantly rose to 24.4 million in 2008, then fell to 23.5 million 2009, and finally rose to 28.1 million dollars in 2010.
In comparison, the amount of money given by the EU also consistently increased, albeit at a much smaller scale and much less impactful. The figures only changed from 3.1 million dollars in 2006 to 3.4 million in 2007 and 2008, then further rose by 200 thousand dollars in 2009, and finally rose to 4.1 million. Similarly, other nations donated 2.8 million, a statistic that then increased to 3.2 million in 2007 and to 3.5 million in 2008, then finally reached 3.7 million in 2010.
