All around the world, there are many developed countries like Britain, Japan and the USA, developing countries such as Brazil and Malaysia and less developed countries like Bangladesh and Mali where there are many malnourished children who starve to death.

Less developed countries also find that they are in debt to the more developed countries which means that they have to pay back all the money with interest. This money could be used for development on the country but instead is going to the more developed countries. In many countries, problems arise due to health, too many children and a lack of education.

While Aids is clearly a health problem, the world has also come to realize that it is also a development problem that threatens human welfare, social economic advances, productivity, social cohesion and even national security.
