Which is the correct alternative?

development is correct since it is an adjective used to describe the noun �aid � in this sentence.

British based agency that provides relief and ( develops /development ) aid to impoverished or disaster stricken communities world wide.
i think both are correct:
British based agency that provides (relief and development aid) to impoverished or disaster stricken communities world wide.
British based agency that (provides relief and develops aid) to impoverished or disaster stricken communities world wide.
However, i guess the second possibility is far convenient!!

The correct choice is: development -

A British based agency that provides relief and development aid to impoverished or disaster stricken communities world wide.

The correct choice is �development �.

If you use �develop � it should read �.... and develops aid for impoverished... �

The two sentences would have different meanings:

�development aid � is aid directly to the communities to improve/maintain/introduce infrastructure.

�develops aid for � would mean the agency creates programs/plans/ideas but does not necessarily implement them.
