Abstract: |
The first aid programme in history was the Marshall Plan. In 1948-52 the United States government allocated $12 billion (or about $120 billion at today's value - almost 5% of the US GDP of the 1950s) to reconstruct World War II-ravaged Western Europe. In the following decades, the recipients of aid evolved into donors and countries such as Britain and France developed their own aid programs. Germany and Japan followed. In the late 1990s Greece also became a donor - providing aid mainly to Balkan states.
