 Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following
questions :

The non-aligned countries were more than merely

mediators during the Cold War. The challenge for most of the
non-aligned countries — a majority of them were categorised as
the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) — was to be more
developed economically and to lift their people out of poverty.
Economic development was also vital for the independence of
the new countries. Without sustained development, a country
could not be truly free.

(i) Name any two founder countries of Non-Aligned Movement

(NAM) during the Cold War period.

(ii) Suggest any two methods to lift the people of the Least
Developed Countries out of poverty.
