I teach IGCSE Geography at an international school in Southeast Asia. Development strategies, aid, trade, debt relief, Fairtrade, and microfinance, is the topic students most want to get right for the Cambridge 0460 paper, and most often answer with slogans rather than analysis.
This resource is a complete, ready-to-teach lesson on development strategies for Cambridge IGCSE Geography (0460, 2027 syllabus). You get a 69-slide PowerPoint presentation, a Word document student workbook in three versions (full colour, grayscale, online-ready), a bonus interactive website on Geography Oasis, and a full answer key.
Students will learn:
- The difference between top-down and bottom-up development approaches.
- How the Trade Trap works and what the WTO and Fairtrade try to fix.
- The forms of international aid and their strengths and weaknesses.
- How debt relief works (HIPC, MDRI) and how debt service ratios are calculated.
- How microfinance raises living standards, using the Grameen Bank model.
- How to evaluate strategies in a 7-mark exam response.
Also suitable for AP Human Geography, World Geography, and any development or global issues unit at ages 14-16.
Delivered as fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx) files. Adapt the language, restructure activities, or drop in your own resources.
This is Module 3 of the Development unit. A bundle is available if you want the full unit and a saving across all five modules.
