Policy Submission on Aid Policy for the UN International Meeting on Small Island Developing States
(UN)
Small Island Developing states (SIDS) are limited in size and are physically and economically extremely vulnerable. They are dependent both on natural resources and international trade but lack the means to influence the terms of that trade. Aid is vital to the economies of many SIDS; supporting health and education programmes, funding investment in infrastructure and helping Small Island states integrate into the global economy.
