development aid
'Entwicklungshilfe' (development aid) and 'Entwicklungszusammenarbeit' (development cooperation) both mean support for poorer countries so that their economy and society can develop better. The difference lies in how the relationship is viewed. 'Entwicklungshilfe' sounds more like one-sided help from rich countries to poorer countries. 'Entwicklungszusammenarbeit' emphasizes more strongly that both sides work together and are partners. Learners may confuse the words because they often refer to similar projects. In official and modern texts, 'Entwicklungszusammenarbeit' often sounds more appropriate when cooperation on equal footing is meant.
