Mohammed Salem Qatan says in an article in the contemporary times the media has used the term of donor countries to mean the rich states that are used to grant others of poor countries some assistance and loans. Because relations among nations are political one, we think granting in this regard is subject to political requirements and motives. This matter created for this subject new dimensions and many corridors that dictated on those donors to establish Paris Club and donors conferences.

With regard to individuals, some donors would like beautiful propaganda for themselves and some others their granting is based on accurate calculations in harmony with their own interests. Very few of them offer grants out of human motivations. The latter groups of donors are faced with formations of middlemen some of whom interfered even in the donors grants and their distribution, becoming a burden on donor and the recipients. Because this problem has become very big as a result of situations deterioration and decrease of honesty, it could be suitable for those individual donors to establish a club resembling Paris Club or a conference like the London Conference.
