Articles needing attention

To be created, or particularly needing work:

• Anything in Wikipedia: Category:International development stubs needs to be expanded.
• Wikipedia: Development aid/ Wikipedia: Foreign aid articles are all a mess. They need to be properly merged or at least cleaned up, and criticisms of foreign/developmental aid should be expanded on.

For more information, visit the articles, their talk pages, and/or Wikipedia: Project:WikiProject International development.
