Economic
civil wars
slows down economic development because everyone is going to war
loss of money which goes to war
unfair trade debt
struggling to pay debt countries, they cannot invest in education or medical care, so it lowers development

in a drought, the government would give food and money but little amount of water
it is something that they receive to help but not to help the cause which slows down the development
