Foreign aid is a great topic of discussion between developed and developing world the last 50 years. This thesis is separated in two main parts. The first one concerns the theory of foreign aid, the effects and motives of the donors, while the second part analyzes the case of Africa. It is worth noting that while Africa has received huge amounts of foreign aid still remains in a very low level of livelihood. The impressive characteristic is that countries, which receive the aid, tend to be rich in natural resources, however those countries are underdeveloped and live in poverty with corrupted health and education systems. However, it seems to be an economic growth in the very last years in some countries such as Ethiopia.
