Many developing countries in East Africa face significant challenges in funding climate resilience, industrial infrastructure, and healthcare systems. To address these structural gaps, they receive multilateral development grants.
Table 1 displays the index figures for inbound multilateral development grants per capita and GDP per capita for six East African countries in 2023.
| Country | Index of multilateral development grants per capita (X) | Index of GDP per capita (Y) |
|---|---|---|
| Seychelles | 75 | 180 |
| Mauritius | 90 | 165 |
| Kenya | 120 | 115 |
| Rwanda | 260 | 75 |
| Uganda | 215 | 60 |
| Burundi | 480 | 20 |
Explain whether the relationship shown in Table 1 between multilateral development grants per capita and GDP per capita is the expected one.
