It is not really possible to predict the results in the absence of more specific details. "Effort" here is a key undefined term, as it really doesn't specify whether the "effort" would take the form of monetary aid, training, infrastructure improvement, consultants, or other specific missions.
Simply sending money is unlikely to have a significant effect without substantial efforts to monitor how the money is being used. Simply enriching a few powerful kleptocrats in developing nations does not improve living conditions for the majority of people.
Similarly, certain forms of emergency aid such as supplying food to drought-stricken regions will help individuals in the short term but likely will not make an appreciable long-term difference.
There are certain types of aid efforts that might make long-term changes. The first is infrastructure creation, including education, transportation, communication, and finance. These might enable many developing nations to take advantage of their demographic transitions. Ensuring that women have access to health care (including birth control) and education also has a long-term economic benefit. Aid programs that focus on eradication of infectious diseases through monitoring and vaccination programs can increase average life span and productivity significantly.
