Grant Aid
Grant aid is financial assistance that is extended to recipient countries without imposing an obligation of repayment.

Loan Aid
Loan aid involves the provision of loans under relaxed conditions (low interest, long repayment period) to recipient countries. (These are in principle untied loans.)

Technical Cooperation
Technical cooperation involves the technologies being provided to recipient countries to spread the use of technology among people in developing countries and improve technical levels.
