Ma1. Find a charity that you think is doing good work in a low GDP per capita (low income) nation (also pick a specific country they work in to talk about). Discuss why that nation has a low GDP per capita in the first place, and why the charity is needed. Then discuss what the charity provides and why you believe that is an economic sound approach for improving the outcome there. tips I'm not setting a GDP per capital limit to pick from, just try to pick a country on the lower end of the GDP per capita spectrum. When discussing why the nation currently has a low GDP per capita, remember to discuss both the available factors of production and the institutions and incentives that are present. When discussing how the efforts of the charity will improve the outcome, be sure to tied it back into macroeconomic theory: how will the actions of the charity contribute to more economic stability and/or greater growth and a higher living standard in the future.
