  • Development, when talking about countries, means reaching poor people and helping them improve their lives by making sure they have the basic things they need to live.
     
  • Many different people and groups work together to help a country develop.
     
  • The governments of poor countries work to improve conditions in their countries. The governments of most rich countries try to help poor countries to do that. International institutions like the World Bank give money and fund projects to help poor countries. Many other charitable groups around the world work to help poor people. And poor people themselves struggle daily to provide for themselves and their families.
