Abstract:
This paper ex-rays the implication of international organizations (IOs) as Unilateral and Multilateral IOs to the development of the Third-World with a view to finding out if, there is any difference between them. The paper leans on library research as descriptive in nature from documented instruments for further discovery. Findings show that even though there is no clear-cut difference between the two, unilateral organizations are more lenient to the third world situation than bilateral organizations. This is because the origin and the history of the development of this development bodies and their aims and objective in relations to the development needs of the third-World at the final analyses expose the salient connections between both. The paper concludes that, albeit the two organizations are important in the global system, unilateral donors or international organizations are more important to the third world as there is no string attached to any form of aid given to them. The paper recommends that, unilateral agencies and organizations should ensure equitable distribution of aid to the needy nations to curtail the level of imposition made by bilateral donors.
