Hello everyone so um right now we will continue our discussion on international agency and we
will focus on bilateral international agencies non-government organizations or ngo and other
agencies that operate in the international
sphere so bilateral agencies such as the australian agency for international
development or the danish international development agency or the united states
united states agency for international development they are bilateral agency and they
primarily work on development assistance sponsored by developed countries and they
work with low-income and middle-income countries to advocate for economic and social development
they're involved in advocacy knowledge generation as well as financing in here in this table you can
see five such bilateral agency and their specific originating country so um uh from australia we

for international development this agency provides economic development and assistance
for the advancement of u.s economic and political interests overseas usaid carries out u.s foreign
policy by promoting broad-scale human progress at the same time it expands stable free societies
creates markets and trade partners for the united states and fosters goodwill abroad
um an underlying operation or theme for usaid is to work with specific countries where
there is interest for the united states to send humanitarian aid there through u.s aid so that a
specific economic improvement can be can be gained by selling u.s products in those countries or
building diplomatic ties with that country for political for global political purposes
on the other hand uh there uh will uh from bilateral agency we can now shift to uh
