What do we call the assistance in the form of money, goods, or services provided to other nations?

The term for assistance provided to other nations in the form of money, goods, or services is called foreign aid. Foreign aid typically encompasses a wide range of support, including financial donations, food supplies, medical care, and infrastructure development, aimed at helping nations address various challenges such as poverty, disaster recovery, or economic instability. This kind of assistance is often facilitated by governments and international organizations to promote development, enhance stability, or support humanitarian efforts.

While diplomatic support refers to actions taken to foster positive relationships between countries, and trade agreements involve formal arrangements to facilitate commerce, these do not specifically encompass the act of providing monetary or material assistance. Humanitarian assistance is indeed a subset of foreign aid focused on responding to crises and the immediate needs of affected populations, but it does not encompass the broader scope of foreign aid, which includes longer-term developmental assistance as well.
