A problem that Christian Aid sees is the problem of unfair trade on a global scale. Ultimately, rich countries are exploiting poor communities in developing countries who will take any price just to have money. International trade is worth $10 million per minute, yet poor countries only account for 0.4% of this trade.
What is C.A. doing about this issue?
C.A. believes that “…[t]rade must be used to help bring an end to poverty—not deepen and prolong it.” So now they are demanding that that EU stop insisting that its former colonies open up their markets through the economic partnership program. They are also fighting for fair trade policies be put in place to protect developing countries from being subjugated to more wealthy countries and their demands.
